AppImage version

[Kyuyrii]

I saw that there is no official AppImage version, but I found a repository that has an AppImage version, would it be possible to contact them to make this version official?

I have a principled position against forced dependency on some remote server via the internet, when the software is supposed to run locally. Why can I not be in a remote village with my PC and all the software I need in my pen drive? Microsoft Windows store, chrome marketplace and google play store are guilty of making these choices, but I thought something supposedly community-owned like flatpak would do better, but here we are. Now if it were to be some niche application I would have tolerated it, but Bottles! All the windows programs which should run in a sandbox depend on Bottles! For now, I could figure how to download these - dxvk-2.6.tar.gz, vkd3d-proton-2.14.1.tar.gz, dxvk-nvapi-v0.9.0.tar.gz , latencyflex-v0.1.1.tar.xz, WineBridge-eb78a75.tar.xz, soda-9.0-1-x86_64.tar.xz, extract them in the respective directories: ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/vkd3d ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/nvapi ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/latencyflex ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/winebridge ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/runners ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/runners/soda-9.0-1 *Then* install bottles via the offline repo created using create-usb command so that it can run smoothly. So, a big YES from me, please make the AppImage official. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#3971 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AWHH7L7MNC3UFE272DG66LL3HEPTNAVCNFSM6AAAAACAP22PMCVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZTANBRGUYDSOJQHA> .
