But yes, they hyper trigger my ocd because I cannot manage it all in one place and they just float around as a seperate entity. I just discovered Bauh too which can manage them. The problem there lies that you have to choose one manager now to manage them all and they don’t all just detect them like a flatpak manager. They’re too manual. The more that these things are separated the more time I’ll spend fucking with them and that’s the last thing I need. I need them to be all in one place and standardised to stop my bad habits. It’s too much extra shit. I get why they’re good, it’s just not for someone that is not a dev thay actually needs to do other work.
Different users need different things. Not everyone can run a bare bones Arch setup. I’d use it anyway even if I didn’t have a lot of updates. It’s the centralisation that’s important. It even updates Docker containers and windows. I have several devices I can just automate now. It’s a set and forget.
Alright be aware that AM not only can manage appimages, it also manages other portable formats and has access to over a 1000 static binaries from soarpkgs repo.
And it can do all of this at user level when used as appman, that is elevated rights are never needed to install anything and I can just take my HOME and drop it on any distro and be ready to go.
It made me get rid of flatpak all together and become an appimage contributor lol
How exactly are appimages annoying? I think they are awesome tbh
AppImage is a package format, not a package manager. Same with tar.
So, I would say the primary complaint should be a lack of package management.

I want a centralised app manage, not 50. I’d probably stick them in a folder and forget them if not for Gear Lever.

Oh perfect, they added this to topgrade.

what
Is topgrade used to update all the package managers at once? how many stuff are you using that you need that???
