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.

Overall there should be repo for appimages which just don't have flatpak, for some apps which can't work well in sandbox.
https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM
Does it have GUI?

It was recently tested on postmarketOS here btw
Trying AM now, looks good although I'm using it as appman in userspace and imi noticed it unpacks all appimages in the application folder, I'd prefer to have them as appimages files. And the store misses curseforge appimage. Where are discussions/forums about aminstaler?
AM doesn't unpack appimages.
It places them into a dedicated directory in
~/Applicationsif you didn't choose a install path, but the file is still the same appimage without the.AppImageextension.https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/discussions
Great I will try it out.
Next step could be equivalent to backend for major stores.
