  • They have the sync option to update without downloading the whole package again, GearLevel does this, but that’s a flatpak, there are several more options as well or just manual updates. Some of them even update themselves, if you trust the packager. And given how easy it is for random people to dump unofficial ports on Flathub I would check who made them there as closely as I do for my AppImages.


  • No problem with Flathub, but FFS I wish so many projects would stop having all their releases and flatpaks or those damn snaps.

    If you’re going to do just one format why not AppImage? It is portable, easy to use, multiple ways to sandbox it, and newer versions have the option to create their own home directory so the files created stay with the AppImage for use on portable drives or between users on a shared partition.
