Friends dont let friends install software that isn't signed.

Use apt.

Lol apt

Or to frame it differently, use a package manager and not appimages etc.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

AppImages actually do have (optional) support for signatures.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They have no update feature afaik, how does this work? What verified this signature, the user?

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its a subcommand of the AppImage. The developer adds the signature to the AppImage and the user verifies it after download with the subcommand.

Thats nice, didnt even know there was an interface for managing appimages?

Flatpaks are a good system that tick every checkbox except "zero permissions by default" and "efficient by design"
