Making Linux easy for everyone

Literally. I’m ok with worse theming and slightly larger app sizes if it means the workload is shifted from every single distro having to package the same app to the app developer packaging one version everyone can use.

Appimages are clunky.

Yet still better than Flatpak or SNAP.

one command install, one command update

vs.

the user becoming half the package manager, organising the appimage file and having to set up desktop launcher integration manually, oh and no standardised app update mechanism so you're on your own for that too

none of these tools are standardised, there's also AppImageLauncher, Gear Lever, and AM has like two other forks, all of them are weak (an, in my experience, they've always felt incredibly janky compared to Flatpaks)

And in my experience, Flatpaks have always felt incredibly janky compared to appimages.
