    They are even worse, since they don’t come with an update mechanism builtin.

      That’s the main thing I don’t like about app images. It is just like windows where everything needs to be updated independently.

        That’s not true and a bit harsh. AppImage supports repos with PGP signatures and differential upgrades, neither of which is supported by Flatpak/snap or any distro repo i know of. I especially love differential upgrades, as someone who regularly has bad connection.

        AppImages don’t integrate into the system at all and AppImageUpdate sucks.

        Also flatpak update go brrrr

            AH really? What DE? I guess everyone should use Manjaro. For me, I have to right click, run as executable. Firefox doesn’t work, Pling icon looks like shit, can’t update them without using a poorly made updater program. No thanks!
