Did great today with TROM II. Lots of work. Less than a week and the first part is done. :) - Excited to then move to finishing part 2. I only need to make this part coherent and edit it a bit. Most of it is already edited.

And by teh way the concept of appimages is fantastic. Now I realize how much it helps. I have a half a year old Kdenlive appimage that I use for the first part and that allows me to work on the video project for a long time without being concerned that an update may break something. Appimages are truly contained so in theory I should be able to use this appimage version for years without an issue. From what I know flatpaks are not truly contained. They share libraries and stuff. It is a reason why in TROMjaro we have integrated the support for appimages.

Except the heat all good with my life for now :) . I hope to continue like so. #tromlive

I think appimages are used for special situations like this. You normally wouldn't install every app as an appimage, but in situations like this where kdenlive breaks compatibility or something, then having an appimage can be real handy. I think most people use Tor browser as an appimage too since they recommend that, and it allows me to update the app separately from the rest of my system. torbrowser-launcher is the package I use and it automates this process for me.

BTW, I just wanted to point out that while you can technically use an old program for years, that doesn't mean you should. Lots of bugs and security holes are patched through updates, so its always best to keep everything up to date when possible.

It is super handy to use appimages tho. Download and use. And are cross platform (linux wise) so thats fantastic.
