       @soop I'm not very good at coding, but often need little scripts. currently I use it to extract questions and answers from psych exam book, so I can Anki them. it would take me hours to make this and it's not my expertise. I just need this to be done. so I use cursor.

       @kaia I use https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher which automatically moves them to a Folder like ~/Apps and creates a .desktop file for them so you can call them from your launcher.

       @kaia Don't. Just don't use this type of junk in the arch nor any arch-based system, otherwise one day you make it totally unusable broken.

       @kaia there is a cool utility called Gear Lever which you drag the appimage into and it will place it in the right folder, create all the shortcuts and menu entries, and check if there are updates available for it. Goated utility which I don’t go without on most of my installs
