From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you met appimageupdater?

There's one called AppImageUpdater, and as you can probably guess, it updates your AppImages.

It's not perfect, as it can only update them if they've been set up for it, and can update one at a time before closing, but it can integrate the AppImage by moving it to your Applications folder and putting shortcuts in the start menu 👍
