For some reason the first time I read it, I thought it was an “L” so now I always call them “Apple mages”

  1. Compile from source
  2. Find alternative
  3. Deploy in VM/Docker

If I wanted snap, flatpak or appimages, I would use windows. Shared dependencies or death.

No one uses app image anymore

this is probably an edge case but I do when i visit family and friends. these trips are short and infrequent enough that a laptop would be an unnecessary expense and i’m not driving through mountainous areas with my tower. none of them use linux. most have aged windows or mac machines. they don’t care if i run a live system or puppy linux from a USB drive. i add a handful of appimages i’ll use at night or if there’s free time. I’m sure there are better ways but it works for me.

If it works for you then it works, no need to switch it up. I guess one other way of doing it would be a persistent install on that USB.

If it’s C or C++, I get the source from the project’s GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
For programming languages that I don’t read, I usually use the AUR.

Also,

  • GoG for games
  • Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
  • AppImage sometimes

God that’s painfully me.

Except I moved to lxc and zfs with homebrew scripts for most now, pass containers around the network like candy, including an arch lutris one.

People spend a lot of time on this one. It must suck to be losing to snap.
