 An AppImage can now be downloaded on any Linux distribution and simply “double click it” and it works. No need for any install. It is a “download and use” case. An AppImage can now be downloaded on any Linux distribution and simply “double click it” and it works. No need for any install. It is a “download and use” case.

 AppImages will look and function the same way that any other apps do on TROMjaro. Adopting this contained packaging system allows us to recommend even more trade-free applications. But we would like to stop at this, since we do not want to create a monster out of TROMjaro. AppImages will look and function the same way that any other apps do on TROMjaro.

 We think that a centralized way of installing and updating apps is the best and easiest. AppImages are disturbing a bit the TROMjaro waters, but it is a “compromise” we can accept.

In any case, only a tiny percentage of the recommended apps will be AppImages. We think that a centralized way of installing and updating apps is the best and easiest.
