#appimage

1 Beitrag1 Beteiligte*r0 Beiträge heute

A new unstable/development #AppImage for my music player #benben is up ​:happyremi:​ This is the work-in-progress v0.7.0. I believe I've added all the missing libraries to the AppImage this time. Downloads and source code are all here: https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/wiki?name=Releases

Nabend liebe Gemeinde,
sagt einmal weiß zufällig Jemand wie man an die Ordner einer *.appimage Datei kommt?

Ich hab ein Spiel welches ein AppImage ist und würde gern in deren Ordnerstruktur kommen um das Spiel zu ergänzen.

Ginge das und wenn wie?

Lieben Dank im Voraus.

@rolle the #OpenPandora has it's own image format like #AppImage called PND. For the successor there is DBP... nevertheless PND works like a charm; download an image to one of the default application folders and it gets automatically integrated in the menu, to the desktop... I wish someone would adopt this workflow to other platforms.

Some stuff to read about PND and how it works: pandorawiki.org/Introduction_t

AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.

I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-l

Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them.

#Fingwit is the missing #fingerprint #authentication tool for #Linux. It enhances security by intelligently managing when it should be used.

It integrates with the fprintd daemon and a dynamic PAM module to prevent login issues.

Set to be included in #LinuxMint 22.2, it enables authentication for login screens, sudo commands, and admin tasks.

The tool is Free #opensource software under the GPLv3+ license and provides an #AppImage for easy installation.

Oh boy ...

I switched @novelwriter to Qt6 on the recent 2.7 release, and that has caused sooo many problems with the AppImage.

I spent 7-8 hours yesterday trying to fix things, but AppImages are horrible to work with when you can't just use one of the standard tools that does everything for you.

... and now I hate AppImages.

I understand that the #SteamDeck being more a game console and less a PC is one of the best hardware forms to target with immutable filesystems, and I dig that. But at the same time I wish I could just install software through #pacman like normal #Arch . #Flatpak and #AppImage don't yet have all the critical software (especially terminal software) that I need to be fully productive, and the Steam Deck doesn't make it easy to install other types of software packaging.

Okay, so hear me out...

Auto updating mechanism made by the #FreeDesktop org for #AppImage apps... no, srsly.

Think of every electron app out there that automatically updates itself. You do know how that's done, right?

Each of these apps have to check a website for a file - and a hash. It then "confirms" that this package is the latest and greatest version of App - your favourite app.

But now you've suddenly got like 10 different updaters, one of which can be an attack vector... yes.
