From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AppImages suck because I can't pin them to my dashboard, can't set them to open at startup and can't set them as default apps for the appropriate filetypes.
I think AppImages suck as well, but this is not a reason for my dislike. A simple script that you can run on startup will fix that problem.
Okay well. I don't have a script. I just use a computer.
If I need a script to make it work properly, it sucks.
You realize your computer won't work without scripts, don't you? And if you want your computer to do something it doesn't do on its own, a simple script will make it do what you want. If that is your definition of sucking, then you need to go back to Windows, which is also loaded with scripts, by the way, so that sucks too.
No, I don't. In fact every Windows, Android or Mac computer I've used in my entire life works perfectly fine without manually running any scripts at all.
Use appimagelauncher Application that will add appimages to application menu
I like appimages because I can install them where I want and you can just make a symlink in the bin folder.
You can't install them at all
Use Gear Lever.
No.
Care to elaborate?
I don't know what it is and don't care. I'm tired of jumping through hoops just to install the software I need.
Good talk
