This is the meat and potatoes. What a moran.

knowledge is power ;3

Sorry but flatpak won
Faggots should have done a better job with cum snapn and gyatt image

I just download the appimages to a dir (usually ~/.local/appimages, no renaming) and symlink them to ~/.local/bin with a short-name for convenience.
That way I'll have them always at hand on my cozy dmenu custom laucher

If Linux ecosystem was not controlled by corporations we would have "linux exe" normalized long time ago but of course everything is sabotaged to be at best mediocre and barely usable.

I couldn't make it mpre than a minute into that video, the cringe was too much. I don't understand why SO MANY random people with: no personality and nothing of value to contribute insist on making youtube channels. I'd rather spend all day watching someone unsuccessfully fishing than watch another second of that wet wipe.

Flatpak won but we all lost.

yeah I do it manually normally too but gear lever is genuinely convenient imo, the issue is it's only available as a flatpak...
