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.

AppImageLauncher caused me problems in the past, similar to in this post.
So I switched to appimaged and have never looked back.
After uninstalling AppImageLauncher, I had to make sure that
~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/appimagelauncherd.service
was also removed!BTW the last release of AppImageLauncher is from 2020!
Good looking out. I installed this and verified it's working, but does this automatically start at start up? I can't seem to get systemctl enable to work on it.
According to the uninstall instructions here: https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/blob/master/src/appimaged/README.md#initial-setup
appimaged should create the everything itself in order for auto start to work.
e.g.
systemctl --user status appimaged.service
says that the service is enabled for me.I would follow the installation instructions and if that does not work, the uninstall instructions in reverse to create the service yourself (probably with
systemctl --user enable --now appimaged.service
)Oh awesome, yeah I was missing the user tag! Yeah all working now, thank you :)
