  • GIMP-64bit-and-32bit.AppImage

    Discontinued GNU Image Manipulation Program, cross-platform image and photo editor, AppImages for x86 and x64 architectures built from the more recent PPA (supports GLIBC 2.27 or later). [Moved to: https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-AppImage]

  • See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.

  • AppImageUpdate

    AppImageUpdate lets you update AppImages in a decentral way using information embedded in the AppImage itself.

  • The fact is that the delta update system via Zsync and appimageupdatetool are real solutions to the problem, but too many developers do not implement it in their AppImage, myself included.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Official-Krunker.io-Client

    The Krunker client is an installable, desktop-based version of Krunker.io for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux computers. It allows users to run and play Krunker outside of their browser, and can be downloaded by pressing the download button in the top right corner of the menu in game. Released to aid the competitive Krunker community, it can run at higher resolutions, frame rates, allowing for smoother and easier streaming or recording. Some benefits of using the client over the browser include:

  • Krunker client source code I can't read it, but here it is.

  • VLC_media_player-x86_64.AppImage

    Discontinued AppImage for VLC Video and Media Player from the more recent PPA (supports GLIBC 2.27 or later). [Moved to: https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC-AppImage]

  • See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.

    Unofficial AppImage for Spotify

  • qbittorrent-appimage

    A lightweight version of qBittorrent built JuNest (Archimage).

  • See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.

  • KDE-games-suite-appimage

    Arch Linux full suite of KDE games in one AppImage (juNest's ArchImage)

  • See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM".

  • AM

    AppImage package manager to install, update (for real), and manage ALL of them (system-wide or locally) thanks to its ever-growing AUR-inspired database listing (for now) 1900+ portable apps and programs for GNU/Linux. The first, real centralized repository to manage your AppImages with the ease of APT and the power of PacMan.

  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

  • No, see https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/329. Nothing stopping you from creating a runtime with nothing actually in it though.
