    am I the only one that thinks this kind of software is dumb?

    what does it do? copies files to ~/Applications, provides a was to run Appimages without the need for fuse2, provides a mac like way to install Appimages?

    Nothing this app does is more then a one liner for every competent user. why bother?

    oh yeah, it’s Ubuntu…

      I use appman which is more of a repo for appimages. I will try this for one important reason. “AppManager is open source and, naturally, distributed as an AppImage itself.” This is essentially what I have been looking for. maybe. I want something like appman that is a gui that is itself an appimage and further gives a gui start menu kind of thing. why? because then you can just move a folder to a new machine and boom you have all your software ready to go.

      Doubtful. And for the same reason this ‘basically-a-one-liner’ is neat

      Not everybody knows or cares what a one liner is. Noe everyone is a competent user. Some people just want to drag and drop. Some people come from the Mac world and want things to work that way. Some people don’t and still want it 🤷

      Linux is pretty big these days.
