Not that it’s bad. For me, it’s actually very useful, I just find it mildly amusing that an app for managing AppImages is packaged as a Flatpak, despite the two formats being widely known as competitors*.

* Okay, most people (including me) would say that the two formats are for different use cases and aren’t directly competitors, but for the eyes of a lot of AppImage purists and Flatpak critics, they are.

    Speaking of that app, I have been using it for some of my programs that are only available as an AppImage for sometime now and I can confirm it works really great.

      OK well I’m not sure where the AppImage “purists” and Flatpak “critics” are but I’ve not really encountered them.

          I like and monetarily support Phoronix the news site, but the forums have some of the worst Linux users. Lots of people upset about the silliest things and confidently spouting incorrect nonsense.
