    AppImages don’t go in Discover with all my other programs. They don’t auto update, no review system, no way to cleanup the files they created when uninstalling, I have to manually add shortcuts to my app launcher. Also Flatseal is pretty cool.

    I’ve tried Gear Lever, but in my experience it hasn’t ever succeeded in updating an AppImage for me. And it’s kind of awkward giving it an AppImage file so it can move the file, instead of the download and the installation being the same single action.

    One thing a lot of people don’t know about Flatpak is that you can get .flatpakref files like Kdenlive uses for their daily builds. Very cool!
