GitHub - pkgforge-dev/appimagetool-uruntime: Fork that uses the uruntime AppImage runtime by default

DO NOT USE!

Unless you really want to use the squashfs uruntime, there is no real reason to use this appimagetool, it only supports squashfs.

Use the DWARFS uruntime, it is a lot better in every single measurable way, you can use this script instead for that.


This is a fork of AppImage/appimagetool that uses the squashfs uruntime instead of the type2-runtime by default.

The uruntime is fully compatible to with the type2-runtime and offers advatnages such as:

  • Automatically extract and run when fuse is not available.

  • Keep the filesystem mounted for even faster launch times.

  • Easily set extra env variables by making a $0.env file with the variables to be set, similar to the existing portable $0.home and $0.config feature of the type2-runtime.

  • Have a portable ~/.local/share dir by making a $0.share directory.
