Wondering about best practices for managing and auto-updating appimages. Have to use a few and Discover appstore (Kubuntu) does not support them, so I've been meaning to setup a way to auto-update them. Currently have them living in ~/appimage directory.

Wouldn't mind basically adding to a command or cron for something like apt-get get upgrade && flatpak update && something-appimage

    Thanks, is pretty nice. Part I'm still unclear on is how to auto-update all appimages, as opposed to individual selection. Would ideally add to a basic script to update appimages after regular package manager. See this issue. I do see ail-cli is used, so learning more about how to use it. See this issue on documentation

    Bazzite theorically auto updates but Im not sure it does for me, so I just start the system updater that updates, system, flatpaks, brew etc from time to time when I plan to reboot anyway.

    iirc topgrade has support for AM, so you can do all at once with AM included.
