Comment on AppManager makes AppImages easier to install and use on Ubuntu
HubertManne@piefed.social 2 days agoI have not used it yet but what im hoping is it will do updates like appman (which basically acts like a software distro manager ala yum, apt, etc) and a start menu for things in the directory. Basically this is how portable apps works with windows and I hope to replicate it in linux. Each level sorta helps. like appimages themselves are fine but then appman makes installation and update and removal more organized. having it install as an appimage and be a gui would be a bit upgrade and having it act as a gui start menu to all the apps would be further more of one. what I have now works alright but I would not mind it being a bit better.
Ah yeah I got ya. Thinking about it, having AppImage manager (and one that keeps things updated) would be pretty nice.
I actually have Autonomix b ikmarked to try, it promises to do similar. I currently use deb-get for deb package management but I winter something less tied to deb

yeah and that is the thing with appman. its great but it itself is not an appimage. I honestly still have not tried this thing yet.
