Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages - TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

This should be installed as default in all distro. Run it with --install, put appimages in ~/Applications and it’s done, you’ll see all apps in your DE app menu

    I agree, this is a very handy app, and I felt very similarly when I first discovered it. That said, I’ve had some issues with AppImageInstaller that I haven’t had with GearLever, it’s nearest equivalent. That’s the beauty of Linux FOSS though, so many choices :)

      Would you be so kind to elaborate? Being explicit would already make a huge difference. Thank you in advance!

      GearLever is my pick too. It does its job, not perfect but good. Updates can be tricky tho sometimes.
