why not offer Appimages that do not interfere with root like flatpak or snap
Comment 2 silopolis 2022-07-09 17:48:24 UTC 
Adding support for AppImageHub (https://www.appimagehub.com/) and integrating features of both AppImageLauncher (https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) and AppImageUpdate (https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate) would ice the already tasty Discover package management cake :)

I think it is a very good idea.

It could be implemented in phases

1. Local file support (Opening AppImages, integrating them with systems, and updating like AppImageLauncher) - it could be easily done with help of libappimage
2. Add AppImage repository (just use official database https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io#how-to-use ) it may require some JSON parsing, but should be also doable
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-01-12 18:55:22 UTC 
It's a good idea, but requests like this are just too huge to fit within a bug report/feature request, unfortunately. If someone wants an AppImage backend, they're going to have to write it.
