Package Manager for AppImages and standalone tar releases
by giomat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6Q8BE)
For those of you who don't like flatpaks I discovered this package manager that automates the installation and update of programs in form of appimages or standalone tar archives (like blender and firefox).
There's a whole lot of programs available (more than 2000) and it's very easy to use from command line. There's even a steam binary based on conty.sh which I know a lot of people here appreciate.
Programs can be installed system wide (by default in /opt/) or locally in the user home, and the package manager takes care of setting up symliks to /usr/local/bin and .desktop files with icons.
It's really a little gem, the dev improves it almost daily. It's called AM (App Manager) and you can find it here https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM
