speaking of wine, look what i found: https://github.com/Hackerl/Wine_Appimage

I tried that one a couple of months ago and it didn't work for me. Don't know if it's already mentioned somewhere in the thread, but here's an interesting one I recently learned about https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

ElectronMail is an Electron-based unofficial desktop client for ProtonMail. The app aims to provide enhanced desktop user experience enabling features that are not supported by the official in-browser web clients. It is written in TypeScript and uses Angular.

It works fine.

FreeTube is an open source desktop YouTube player

Great!

FreeTube is great, though sometimes some videos won't load. I've been using it for quite some time now. It uses invidious https://invidious.fdn.fr/feed/popular

Here are a few from the Maui project some might find handy https://mauikit.org/apps/ and download the appimages from here https://download.kde.org/stable/maui/ while the latest version is 2.0, there aren't any appimages for those just yet, only v1.1.1 and v1.2.2, I use shelf, a document viewer, and it works great. Most of them are +100 MB. For instance, shelf is 157 MB.

You're welcome! This one is very interesting https://github.com/Nitrux/nx-software-center

A graphical front end to manage AppImage applications built using MauiKit.

The AppImages displayed are fetched from:

https://www.appimagehub.com/

However, I tried it, and it didn't work for me, I didn't try in Porteus, though. I did try Nitrux Live, and seems quite a convenient tool for appimage users, like ourselves.

I've tried Nitrux with no success until now... Will keep an eye on it and his .AppImage integration.

Turns out I'd downloaded an outdated version, here's the link for latest nx software center https://github.com/Nitrux/nx-software-c ... 4.AppImage this one did work, well, it started, haven't really tried to get any app yet.

Do I get that right?

Is the "nx software center" an AppImage for handling, well, AppImages?

Basically, yes. I don't know how people manage their appimages, and by that I mean how they update them, because unless appimage-updater can do that(and in my experience it doesn't with every single one out there, but a few ones only), they'll have to launch a web browser, and visit the app's website to download its latest release. If they only get and download them from GitHub and subscribe to be notified for releases, then that makes things a bit easier, and even then sometimes notifications won't arrive, and they'll only notice it when they visit the app's GitHub page and find out that there's a newer version they didn't know about. So, having a tool that allows me to check for newer versions as well as find out about some others I may not know, I'd say that's a pretty handy one.

That sounds good indeed, when they only list trustworthy sites.
Otherwise its a heaven for rootkits, ransomware and such.

Agree. As far as I can tell, it lists appimages from appimagehub.com. I still haven't tried to download any app with it, maybe I do today and share my experience here.

Hi Tolkem,

That's up to the AppImage maintainers to provide all libraries needed, that's the idea about AppImages.

When it doesn't work either use USM and create a module, or provide the libraries yourself.
Or email the ones providing the AppImage with a complete list of missing libs, maybe they help.

i don't think so.. electron apps are a combination of node.js and chromium.. no firey foxes in there..
