Wondering about best practices for managing and auto-updating appimages. Have to use a few and Discover appstore (Kubuntu) does not support them, so I've been meaning to setup a way to auto-update them. Currently have them living in ~/appimage directory.

Wouldn't mind basically adding to a command or cron for something like apt-get get upgrade && flatpak update && something-appimage

Bazzite theorically auto updates but Im not sure it does for me, so I just start the system updater that updates, system, flatpaks, brew etc from time to time when I plan to reboot anyway.

Bazzite has GearLever built in for this.

Also, I think they update using topgrade, which doesn't support gearlever afaik. I always manually have to update in gearlever.
