	Please reconsider the above edit and consider restoring the Flatpak suggestion, until AppImages consistently work in Alpine Linux. -[[User:Prabuanand\|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand\|talk]]) 13:43, 25 January 2026 (UTC)		Please reconsider the above edit and consider restoring the Flatpak suggestion, until AppImages consistently work in Alpine Linux. -[[User:Prabuanand\|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand\|talk]]) 13:43, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

			:Thank you very much for comparing use, which is helpful. It's good to feed your useful point into the wiki about so many AppImages currently failing in Alpine Linux, assuming that you had applied the gcompat layer instruction. In view of your examination and feedback, the order of the subsections and the preference for flatpaks have been restored, as flatpaks would therefore work out easier to install in the long run despite AppImages taking fewer steps to install when they do work.

			== AppImage ==

			Dear [[User:John3-16\|John3-16]], your [https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Software_management&diff=prev&oldid=31876 edit] changed the preferred method of running glibc applications from [[Flatpak]] to [[AppImage]]. Flathub is a known repository with a lot of applications that is guaranteed to work in Alpine Linux. I'm not aware of an equivalent reliable i.e trusted source for AppImages that is guaranteed to work in Alpine Linux.
			I tested a few from http://www.appimagehub.com and many did not work.

			Please reconsider the above edit and consider restoring the Flatpak suggestion, until AppImages consistently work in Alpine Linux. -[[User:Prabuanand\|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand\|talk]]) 13:43, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
