[https://appimage.org/ AppImage] is a self-contained executable file that bundles an application with everything it needs to run (e.g. libraries, icons, fonts, translations, etc.) across different Linux distributions without installation. You just download it, and run it. Unlike Linux [[packages]] which are built for each distribution (and version) such as [[Debian]]; and must be installed using [[package management]] tools, AppImages are portable - meaning they can be re-used across OS upgrades or across computers. | [https://appimage.org/ AppImage] is a self-contained executable file that bundles an application with everything it needs to run (e.g. libraries, icons, fonts, translations, etc.) across different Linux distributions without installation.
