From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alias update="sudo apt full-upgrade && flatpak update"
Fixed it for you
Nice. Your excellent suggestion probably belongs in a meta-package somewhere so that users get it for free when appropriate.
Since they’re using Fedora apt isn’t going to do anything, they would need to run
sudo dnf upgrade -y && flatpak updateappimages though?
They don't update, they are standalone files
Appimages for in-dev programs usually have an auto-updater that runs when you run the program, too, which is accetapble by my factual and perfect standards. It would be nice if someone put together an appimage store to manage these, I guess.
Why not create a plug in to the AppStore of whatever your using
Im pretty sure there is a store, if I remember I think its called appimage pool.

This is obviously what I was referring to, but yeah...
Thats it ... Thats how i do it in every distro inluding nix-env and i'm eine

If you're an Obtainium/install from GitHub fan, then don't forget
gam update.
