Appimages, snaps and flatpaks, which one do you prefer and why?

    I’m still trying them out, but if they work as advertised, then AppImages. That’s mostly because I use my desktop and laptop pretty much equally, so being able to copy and AppImage from one to the other and keep going would be really handy.

    On a similar note, if a computer dies, being able to just copy and paste them to a new computer, or run them from a portable drive would be great.

      yes appimages are good but my problem with them is that when there is a new version i should download them again and again…

        There’s one called AppImageUpdater, and as you can probably guess, it updates your AppImages.

        It’s not perfect, as it can only update them if they’ve been set up for it, and can update one at a time before closing, but it can integrate the AppImage by moving it to your Applications folder and putting shortcuts in the start menu 👍
