#AppImage
🐧 Investigué cómo instalar #Distrobox y configurar contenedores en #Linux. Hay buenas opciones para manejarlo en #Debian. Pero me dio pereza probarlo por mi cuenta 😅. Por ahora, confío en los repositorios Debian, #Flatpak y #AppImage. Aún así, es bueno saber que podría tener acceso a los repositorios de #OpenSUSE #Tumbleweed si los necesito en el futuro. 📦 #LinuxContenedores 🐾📲 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRCh4bTgyt4
Well this has just completely devolved into figuring out how to re-package #Windows games into #Flatpak s or #AppImage s for the sake of #portability
Why does everyone seem to hate #AppImage?
Is it because it's the anti-meta pick versus apt and dnf, or because it's not Flatpak?

I guess I'm a bit more of an #AppImage person, even if that has problems with themes and etc. At least it plays nice with the rest of my home filesystem and it's the easiest type of app package to carry between systems, in my eyes anyways.
But really, I'd just rather use the system package manager. It's there for a reason, and having to flip flop between two of them is kind of dumb tbh.

@realcainmosni AppImage is simple: One app = one file. Of course this comes at some cost. But have you looked at the download size of, e.g., #LibreOffice #AppImage vs. the other formats? You might actually be positively surprised.

Giving the seemingly very useful utility with slightly confusing name a try; Gear Lever.
I like Flatpaks and prefer them wherever the option exists, but a few apps sadly only release as AppImages (and/or more traditional methods). For those, Gear Lever seems to be a very nice (Flatpak!) utility that helps AppImages behave nicely as a more integrated part of your system.
I'm always impressed with what people are able to cook up.
Is there any way to install an up-to-date #Neovim version on a #Debian #Linux installation? I’m flummoxed by not finding anything regarding this in the official documentation. 0.7.2 appears to be the only version available. Am I overlooking something or do I seriously have to manually download an #AppImage or compile it from source?
@thindil Oh there *is* binary compatibility for sure. The #Linux kernel typically doesn't break its userspace-facing #ABI. #Glibc and #GCC's libstdc++ use symbol versioning to provide backwards compatibility.
The issue starts with all the other libs, there's no standard for some "base" GNU/Linux system. That's where all these (IMHO damn broken) ideas like #AppImage, #Flatpak etc come from. Of course, you could just link statically instead, seems people don't get that any more 🙈
Anyways, quite some binary #Linux software will work "anywhere" as long as the required libs are not too old (looking e.g. at browsers...). And having a #Linuxulator userland built from source *should* enable you to just add ports for missing libraries. Well, in theory 🙈
📣 Community Update: Beaver Notes 0.0.6-a.appimage is now out! This release addresses GPU rendering issues on Linux. We're working on a solution for font rendering in the Snap package.

OrcaSlicer_V1.6.4-beta2_Linux.zip so I figured I give it a try. I was a bit concerned when I opened that zip and found it contained a file called OrcaSlicer_ubu64.AppImage, but hey, it's an AppImage right, should be fine...nope. First run from cli just to see what it spits out and what'a'ye know, error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37. A quick sifting through the AppImage contents and guess how many .so files it had in it; yup, not'a one.What's the point of making an #AppImage / #Flatpak / #Snap if you're not gonna include the required libraries to run it?

I really don't know what this whole obsession with #snap, #flatpack, #electron, #AppImage, etc. applications is. A simple Java application all of a sudden weighs in with something like 220 MB, even though I have more than sufficient JREs already available. And every bloody electron app comes basically with its own memory hogging version of a Chromium browser (which is BTW then not automatically upgraded in cases of security maintenance cases).

"Dammit! There's no single uniform package format across all the Linux distros. It's either RPMs or DEBs, mostly."
"OK, let's create something portable across the lot."
The dialogue that led to the creation of #Snap, #Appimage, and #FlatPak.
Has it solved anything? No it has not. Just caused resource bloat (particularly in storage requirements), even more layers of abstraction, and diagnosis headaches. And enabled developers to slope-shoulder platform-specific testing.

Cierto, en eso no habia pensado... ya lleva bastante tiempo intentando pasar todo a #snap y la verdad es que ni ese, ni la competencia #flatpak me parecen buenas soluciones...
Yo soy un fan de los #AppImage (aunque necesitan ser mejorados)
So I started working on my Asteroids-like game again. I made a bit more progress this morning before 7am fixing some issues I introduced. The devlog is here: https://chaslinux.itch.io/fasteroids/devlog #appimage #linux Also Windows. No MacOS at this point.
@Seirdy *nodds in agreement*
#SystemD was necessary and so far I think it did solve a lot of issues. OFC for embedded Systems one can still literally use a single shell script as init process...
#Sandboxing is a #Security feature and Tools like #Snap, #FlatPak and #AppImage make it easy to provide cross-distro apps that just run.
Verified Bootchains as implemented with #CensorBoot on #UEFI are just bad #DRM. #Heads as alternative Firmware makes it better.
I have been using #NuclearPlayer in its appimage format for a few months now on #linux #ubuntu and I was really happy.
A week ago I upgraded ubuntu from version 20.04 to 22.04 and yesterday when I tried to use Nuclear again something curious happened to me: Every time I added some songs to the list, they were automatically deleted after a few seconds without showing any error message or something similar.
Then I went into the settings section and unchecked the "verify songs by community" option and tried again to add songs to the list and again the same thing happened.
I went back into the settings section and changed the address of the #invidious server, but it didn't show any change either.
What should I look for, where could be the error?
PS: I had downloaded #AppImage at the beginning of June and yesterday I downloaded the latest version, but nothing improved either.
#help #question
Hello #linux and #debian friends and strangers — is it possible for an #appimage to mess up your USB drivers somehow?? My laser cutter won't laser-cut, it's reporting the wrong PID and VID to #Lightburn. Correct in lsusb. What. (it's not dec/hex confusion) Could running the Arduino IDE appimage have changed the USB driver settings or something?? That's the only thing I can think of that's changed..??

#Nitrux #Release #News #Changelog #Linux #MauiKit #AppImage
holy crap I just discovered #GearLever can break an #appimage into a proper installation #Linux
En mi caso intento actualizar la version de la distro cada 4 años, porque me jode la perdida de tiempo.
A veces pasa que algunas apps (usadas muy frecuentemente) requieren librerias muy actualizadas que solo vienen ahi.
Recien me acaba de suceder al intentar usar el #AppImage de #Fedistar
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found
Por lo mismo a veces me veo obligado a hacer el puto upgrade.
Y el proceso es un dolor de cabeza.
Cada vez pierdo un dia completo en el.
Primero intento hacerme una lista de todos los detalles que debo tomar en cuenta (y que no estan contemplados en el procedimiento)
P.e. apps que por no estar en formato AppImage deben ser reinstaladas... se que hy herramientas que pueden recolectar esta informacion mas rapidamente, pero hasta ahora no he encontrado ninguna que lo haga solo con las apps NO soportadas por los repos oficiales
Despues una vez que me he dado este laborioso trabajo me toca cruzar los dedos para que no se den sorpresas en el proceso de actualizacion (que SIEMPRE se dan), como la extincion del soporte a apps antiguas o que por el proceso mismo se requieren desintalar.
Al menos en el aspecto de las apps que se desintalan por necesidades del procedimiento o por lo que sea... deberian quedar todas respaldadas o documentadas en alguna carpeta para que nos ayudara a orientarnos al momento de intentar recuperarlas.
Muchas veces esto me lleva a tener que buscar alternativas (ejemplo, con la version 20.04 perdi GPRenamer, que usaba de vez en cuando)
Y siempre llegan otras sorpresas, como que se instalan apps que siempre me toca volver a desintalar porque no uso y me quitan espacio o que nuevas funcionalidades vienen acompañadas de tener que aprender nuevos comandos y cosas asi o que viejas funcionalidades a las que me habia acostumbrado de vuena gana, simplemente desaparecen.
Para que hablar de los "viejos" archivos de configuracion (DOT) de las apps que estaban instaladas y funcionando bien. A veces despues tienen comportamientos extraños.
La verdad es que nunca he descubierto una distro que cumpla con las siguientes condiciones:
- lo mas similar posible a ubuntu budgie
- de evolucion continuada (rolling)
- y que no vaya a desaparecer a la vuelta de la esquina
Si alguien tiene recomendaciones, bienvenidas sean. Se agradeceran muy mucho.
If you work with AppImages this is a fantastic tool.
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher
When you run an AppImage it'll detect it, offer to "install it" by copying it out of Downloads to an "apps" folder, and then integrate it with your DE.
Last releases build is 2020 but the "bionic" deb still works fine in Pop_OS 22.04.
Any reason not to store AppImage files in /usr/local/bin? #appimage #directorystructure
Meus amigos que manjam mais de #Python, será que rolaria fazer um #zipapp com o as dependenccias todas do #py5? https://itsthejoker.github.io/shiv-the-tool-you-didnt-know-you-wanted/
O meu portable do #Thonny tem um lançador de um "script exemplo" com #pymunk que é bem fofo... https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ue4cx3yf372teg/thonny-4-with-py5-windows-portable.zip?dl=0
Queria muito ser capaz de fazer um #AppImage para Linux e um "DMG Bundle" para Mac de um portable Thonny.
Tem documentação de como usar o #pyinstaller com py5 mas meus resultados foram erráticos... https://py5coding.org/how_tos/pyinstaller.html
Parafraseando o Ramalho, a complexidade incidental me quebra as pernas...

How to Enable #AppImage Support in #Ubuntu 23.04 :ubuntu:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/04/appimages-libfuse2-ubuntu-23-04
A poll for #Linux #Debian -based/flavour users in the #fediverse network:
If #flathub #AppImage and #Deb are all natively supported by your distro, and an app you want to install also releases in all three formats, which one would you choose?
And if you feel like it, do share your reasons why.
Notes:
* I intentionally did not include an option for “build it myself”.
* Based on the nature of the question, the poll is only open for 1 answer.
* Poll will run for 1 week.

AppImages don't work out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 23.04, but there's a simple fix https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/04/appimages-libfuse2-ubuntu-23-04 #appimage #ubuntu
@opensuse NOICE!
Personally, I think all are good ideas, tho #Snap is better for #Server, #FlatPak better for #Desktop and #AppImage works best for single standalone executeables.
I've used all 3 of them and I do prefer Flatpak for Desktop since it has a proper #PackageManager [unlike #AppImage] and is wider adopted than Snap...
Oh #Snap! I did not see this coming. https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-ditch-snap/
It's super interesting to see one of the main attempts for a Linux "It Just Works" binary distribution go by the wayside.
I don't have any strong feelings towards it vs #flatpak vs #appimage, but right now the vast majority of my installed apps (both at home and at work) don't seem to be snap-based.
