AppImages Simplify Everything
What if I told you another package format solves all those problems?
There it is, the app.
Hannah Stryker / How-To Geek
It’s not an installation wizard, it’s the app itself.
This gives the app permission to operate on your rig.
(you’ve got the option to alsodo this in the Linux terminalif you’re so inclined.)
From then on, you’ve got the option to just double-smack the file to launch your app.
It’s as simple as that.
You’re also now free from another Linux sore spot: app updates.
You’re free to get the latest version if and when you hey.
If you don’t like a newer version, delete it and go back to using the old one.
I like to put all my AppImages on oneUSB stickthat stays plugged into my PC most of the time.
That lets me save storage on my PC’s main drive.
If I need to have apps on both computers at the same time, I just copy-paste the app.
It’s as simple as that.
Your mileage may vary, depending on the apps you use and the hardware you’re running on.
Where to Find AppImages
AppImages typically aren’t available from your distro’s built-in software store.
The best source for them is usually the app vendors' website.
you might also check outthe official AppImage website.
