    I don’t know what the Linux community’s consensus on appimages are, but I wouldn’t mind if people made more appimages because, for the few distros I’ve used, appimages just usually work.

      AppImages are definitely convient to use. However the two issues I have with them are that there’s no easy way to find them (eg flathub) and they’re not automatically integrated with the DE. Requiring a tool that manages AppImages to make it easier.

        Appimages are supposed to be distributed the same way Windows and Mac software is distributed, that’s kind of the point.

        As for management, I agree distros should ship with an appimage manager.
