If you've been running Linux for the last couple of years, there's a very good chance you've encountered the AppImage format. The main appeal of format is interoperability (the ability to run on multiple Linux distributions) and portability (AppImage apps are self-contained, meaning everything they need to run is packed within a single executable).
AppImageLauncher is a tool that "makes your Linux desktop AppImage ready." It's a free and open-source launcher that provides a successful solution for integrating AppImage files with your system.
The way it works is as follows: it detects all attempts to open an AppImage, and provides some very interesting and useful integration solutions/features.
One of the main advantages of AppImageLauncher is that it allows you to open AppImage apps without having to make them executable. It can also make your OS entirely AppImage-ready, meaning you don't have to install other external components in order to use AppImage apps.
If your system is AppImage-ready, and you don't mind clicking that "Allow executing file as program" option, and you're not particularly keen on having AppImage apps in your app menu, then maybe this tool is not for you. However, if you're a fan of AppImage apps and you find yourself using them regularly, then AppImageLauncher is definitely a must-have tool.
