  1. It's just so cool how easy it is to update #NextCloud Desktop (client) once you configure #gearlever the right way. I've been doing clunky manual updates until now. But clicking a button is a superior experience.

    I wish there was an automatic way for GearLever to know the update source and method, so that also completely non-techy users could enjoy this. AppImages should ideally have that in their MetaData.

  2. Man, that was cool. I finally learned to configure "Update management" in Gear Lever. To just press a button for the NextCloud Desktop updates.

    It's a bit too fiddly still to let a "regular consumer"" or "your mom" type of user loose on it...

    But hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

  3. So, WinBoat (winboat.app/) AppImage genommen und mit Gear Lever (github.com/mijorus/gearlever) Updates managen lassen. FreeRDP3-Client ergänzt, alles andere sonst schon da.

    Home Folder -Integration mal gelassen - hinterher geht das alles zu OneDrive :D

    Kaffee machen und ne Stunde warten jetzt.

  4. A story from yesterday:

    Me: 💡 That article was interesting, let's install GearLever!

    Mint: 👍 Okay, 740 MB will be downloaded and 2.7GB will be installed.

    Me: 🤔 Too much space for such a simple app. Let's cancel.

    Mint: 🤷‍♂️ No cancel button. 👍 Installation complete.

    Me: 🤦‍♂️ Remove it!

    Mint: 👍 Removed. 40MB reclaimed.

    Me: 😨 Hey, where did the other 2.66 GB go?

    Mint: 😅 I don't know what you are talking about.

  5. Been using Linux for a while now and if you use AppImages #GearLever makes it so easy to manage them. But what I just learned is that you can also even use it to keep them updated. wonderful tool - flathub.org/apps/it.mijorus.ge (I installed it from Pop!Shop on PopOS)

    ProtonUp-Qt is great to easily use GE-Proton Versions (Think experimental, with extra steps/goodness):

    For Valheim, I use the R2Modman AppImage to use Thunderstore Mods:

    github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus/r

    thunderstore.io/c/valheim/

    >>>>> For How-2-setup BepInEx:
    thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/de

    is my "code" for the plugins I use.

    thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Az

    is what I use for extended inventory myself.

    While Valheim will play native, I couldn't get mods to work until I set it to play through proton.

    I also copy/paste my r2modman plugin folder to my Valheim plugin folder :(

    r2MODMAN_DATA_FOLDER_HERE/r2ModmanPlugins/Valheim/profiles/Default/BepInEx/plugins/

    >>>>>>

    /home/USER_NAME_HERE.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/

    Until someone can help me figure out otherwise t.t

    Benefit of doing it this way.....I don't need to edit my launch properties at all anywhere...I just use:
    mangohud %command% -console

    github.com/flightlessmango/Man

    To enable MangoHud stats and enable console for devcommands & debugmode

    I totally understand. No soft force from my side. No need to explain from your side. 😃

    For example, I use #siduction among other distros (pure Debian Sid). There, appimage and flatpak sometimes come handy for my usecase. In particular, they integrate quite well in #KDE.
    #GearLever (github.com/mijorus/gearlever), which I installed via flatpak helps me to manage the appimages.

    #Debian #XMPP

    The #appimage of #digikam works well too.

    I found it easier to get it working with the machine learning tools for image annotation and face tagging.

    In case you try the appimage considered its 'installation' via github.com/mijorus/gearlever

    #gearlever can help you to integrate the app into the menu, give execution permission, deletion and update.

  9. AppImage Fan? Be Sure to Check Out ‘Gear Lever’

    AppImages are great: a single runtime containing all of the required dependencies for the app to run, in a double-click binary you can run from anywhere on your system. And therein lies the rub. When I download an AppImage for software like Audacity, Kdenlive, etc., it’s to a folder or my desktop. To run it, I have navigate to the folder and double-click on the binary as unless I manually choose to create a .desktop launcher it won’t appear in any app launcher/menu. Solutions exist, of course. In 2022 I featured a terrific tool to integrate AppImages with Ubuntu easily. :sys_more_orange:
