If you have to choose between using an App Image, from the developpers official site or an AUR package (or apt e.g), what do you choose?

    Personally, I prefer installation via the package manager… Saves some steps and I’ve not had a problem using this procedure since the 90’s…

    AppImage is fine and all but there are some extra steps required to have that “app” appear in the OS menu and such…

    And, as an old fuck, I’m not fond of referring to the software installed on my computer as “app”. It’s “software” or “a program”.

    And, yes. Phone is also a computer and “app” is the appropriate word usage on that platform…

    I know. Semantics. But it’s what I’m used to.
