From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not that it's bad. For me, it's actually very useful, I just find it mildly amusing that an app for managing AppImages is packaged as a Flatpak, despite the two formats being widely known as competitors*.
* Okay, most people (including me) would say that the two formats are for different use cases and aren't directly competitors, but for the eyes of a lot of AppImage purists and Flatpak critics, they are.
This is not really a competition. Options are good.
Let's trigger some peeps:
Is there a docker image available?
Just give me the source code. Under GPLv3 of course.
May I interject for a moment. What you are referring to as a Docker Image is actually an Open Container.org Image or OCI.... Continues stallman quote
Speaking of that app, I have been using it for some of my programs that are only available as an AppImage for sometime now and I can confirm it works really great.
Flathub link in case anybody's interested
OK well I'm not sure where the AppImage "purists" and Flatpak "critics" are but I've not really encountered them.
Tip: take a look at r/Linux and the Phoronix forums 😉
I bet the dev gets a lot of angry comments over that, a absolute hero!
What's off? That looks like it might be useful.
Tool for managing AppImages is distributed only as a flatpak.
I mean they are two things that co-exist, it's not like they're in commercial competition. Flatpak itself is usually distributed as an RPM or deb.
OP is mostly joking about the appimage utility not having an appimage itself
It's a statement, it's about sending a message!
