Hi everyone, I have been getting back into photography lately and switched to using linux full time about a year ago.
I ended up deciding to use digikam as my photo library management tool and then edit in darktable.
both applications I decided to use the appimage for easier use and to have the necessary dependencies to get things like opencl to work, (I had a hard time getting it to work with the .deb)
now I also use multiple machines and recently learned that you can create .home and .config folders for each appimage to have all their settings etc save there, and it seems that this would make it pretty portable.
would it be a bad idea to for example keep the appimages and their folders in a synchronized folder like with nextcloud to use the same* appimage across machines. I never have the same machine on at a time but it would be nice to have all the settings sync'd but im not sure it would then break something since two machines use nvidia gpus and the other uses an amd gpu
I would strongly recommend that you avoid Appimages. They are very dated and depend on legacy stuff that often was dropped by the distro. They are also terrible for security since there is no way of pushing out updates.
Is it libfuse2? This has no longer been a dependency with the static appimage runtime, which released in 2022!
Although most notable, electron apps still by default use the old runtime, because electron-builder hasn't updated the appimage runtime.
Besides that AppImage do not depend on legacy stuff.
This was never true lmao.
