I've used Linux for years and I also have a ~/Applications folder where I put AppImages, applications cloned with git and stuff like that in. 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.

    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.

    Maybe I should install one of these 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.

    A while back they pulled this nonsense that not even upstream approves of: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/issues/661

    iirc fedora also enabled wayland by default on gnome in 2016 when pretty much nothing worked.

    Rhino linux lets you install AM thru its GUI installer btw.
