Roni LaukkarinenAppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome</a>Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier.

OpenCloudWith the first release of OpenCloud Desktop App, the question arises: How do we deliver the app on Linux in the future?Our aim is to make it available as simply as possible with as little maintenance as possible. Both cooperation with the package maintainers and our own, flexible provisioning play a role here.More on this in the blog: <a href="https://opencloud.eu/en/news/linux-packaging-opencloud-desktop-app" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://opencloud.eu/en/news/linux-packaging-opencloud-desktop-app</a><a href="https://social.opencloud.eu/tags/OpenCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenCloud</a> <a href="https://social.opencloud.eu/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://social.opencloud.eu/tags/AppImage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppImage</a>

Cornelius K. 📎Anyone got any tips for managing AppImages on Linux? Found AM which (apart from the worrying name) seems interesting.
