[β] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) Some apps are a bitch and a half for some reason, other apps just work Make a .desktop file, slap it in ./local/share/imdrawingafuckingblank and boom, it's integrated into your shell menu like any other app The Nexus Mod App and Foundry VTT work flawlessly and it's so nice permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (4 children) As a somewhat Linux noob I just made a folder called ~/Apps and launch them through terminal. Not ideal, but I don't care enough to fix it. Your suggestion makes me kinda want to fix it though. Doesn't seem like to much work permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [β] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) Change ~/Apps to ~/bin or ~/.bin & you are doing it like a seasoned pro.

E.g. I have the last Yuzu AppImage in there, since it got taken down, but I also made a .desktop file for it, so I can launch it through the application menu. Btw, you should be able to just double click AppImages in your file explorer to open them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Samueru_sama@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) appimaged does exactly that automatically for you. see: https://streamable.com/dm575h With that said I prefer AM, because it also adds the applications to PATH, meaning you type yuzu on the terminal and it launches yuzu as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Maybe I should install one of these but I would have expected Fedora to come with something like this preinstalled tbh permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Samueru_sama@programming.dev 1 point 1 year ago* but I would have expected Fedora to come with something like this preinstalled tbh Fedora is just plagued with poor decisions, and that's expected, it is the testing ground of redhat and not something that regular users should be using, they even go as far as repacking existing flatpaks just because and then break them.
