✨ 💫 Performs even Updates. Signal + Tails == 
Is there any reason an AppImage couldn't use a similar method to Obtainium to download and install updates for itself (automatically or when promoted)? Maybe with an option to specify a different source of updates.
The administrativia of keeping AppImages up-to-date is one reason I almost never use them. Despite liking the idea better than FlatPak and Snaps.
@realn2s I don't recall ever having any problems with apparmor ...ever.

I really had some problem creating a profile for the #appimage. Using aa-genprof seems to have missed the fuse stuff leading to errors when starting the app.
I ended up disabling #apparmor for the app
AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.
I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome
Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them.

@rolle the #OpenPandora has it's own image format like #AppImage called PND. For the successor there is DBP... nevertheless PND works like a charm; download an image to one of the default application folders and it gets automatically integrated in the menu, to the desktop... I wish someone would adopt this workflow to other platforms.
Some stuff to read about PND and how it works: https://pandorawiki.org/Introduction_to_PNDs
