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

Use apt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I mean, yeah but not everything is available over apt. I try to use it whenever I can though

Lol apt

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

AppImages actually do have (optional) support for signatures.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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?
