Just learned about AppImageLauncher

I just found out about AppImageLauncher, a package handler for AppImages. It organizes them, creates desktop files for you and handles updates and removal.

Integrate AppImages to your application launcher with one click, and manage, update and remove them from there. Double-click AppImages to open them, without having to make them executable first.

Much better than having to create all the desktop files myself, and having to figure out what to put in them for it to work correctly (I'm looking at you, qBittorrent and magnet links).

Gear Lever is really cool as well: https://flathub.org/apps/it.mijorus.gearlever

Looks like Gear Lever is more actively maintained too; thanks for sharing!

I love how gnome apps look so neat and simple. Never knew about this one. Thank you.

keep older versions installed or replace them with the latest release

This functionality does not seem to be present in AppImageLauncher.
