minus-squaremed@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 day agoI’ve used one or two tools that only distribute for my system as an appimage or as source code. I can’t always be bothered to set up a compilation environment or deal with removing dependencies. I only use one or two regularly, but it’s nice to have them integrated! I prefer from the distro’s repos, then source, then flatpack, then appimage. Sometimes you have to take what you can get!
