Conky users?
No, it counts as date night.

I do wish something like AM’s functions was built into an all-in-one package manager for my distro. The closest I found was bauh which handles “AppImage, Debian and Arch Linux packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and Web applications”. Which seems like an all-in-one solution.
But the problem with bauh (that last time I tried it) is that it accesses only a small number of (often very out-of-date) AppImages from the largely moribund AppImageHub.com, unlike AM, which pulls in the latest releases from loads of GitHub repos, and adds more on a frequent basis or request.
AM puts all AppImages in /opt
for me, as well as automatically creating menu entries, easy updates etc.
I use AM package manager for that.
Personally, I use AM. Takes care of that and more.
It is CLI and I’m GUI by nature, but AM is easy enough for me. Just yesterday I did a simple
am -u
and got the latest updated versions of qBittorrent, FreeTube, yt-dlp etc. (I.e. the kind of program that system packages are too out of date to work safely or even work at all.)
There are other options like zap (CLI), Gear Lever (GUI) and just recently I believe the Nitrux distro came out with a complete AppImage software manager. (Checking it out, https://github.com/Nitrux/nx-software-center , it seems it pulls from AppImageHub.com, which unfortunately has largely been forgotten by developers, a lot of software is either out of date, unverifiable or completely absent. AM is much more up-to-date, pulling the latest AppImages mostly from official GitHub repos.)
Netcraft now confirms: BSD is dying.
Thanks for the info.
Personally, I’ve been avoiding Flatpaks anyway on my main machine, but not out of security concerns. Mainly to do with size and the update frequency.
I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.
Is this a Firefox reference?
I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.
I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)
Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.
I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).
“Distro of Gaming Excellence”
Musk has a distro???
Just noticed the the text colour I chose is the same as that of his teeth. :D
