    And the added work with keeping them updated.

  • AppImage is meant to be updated using the embedded zsync info the runtime, that is the user should never have to open the app to update it.

    The user needs to have something like AM, appimagelauncher or appimaged that is then able to parse the info and update the appimages using appimageupdatetool

    This method also provides delta updates, meaning it doesn't download the entire app but only a diff, see this test with CPU-X where it downloaded 2.65 MiB to update the app:

    Most update themselves & flatpaks are the worst when you need them to work with your system (ie: scripts).

    So I guess your opinion is just wrong, sorry! (That's a joke you guys)

    I despised the Windows way of everything having their own updater either running in the background or only alerting you when you want to use an app.

    AppImage to me feels like a big step backwards.

    Damn, should have said that sooner, I see people don't tolerate that kind of talking to others in here. Respect the community.
