AppImage (formerly known as klik and PortableLinuxApps) is an open-source format for distributing portable software on Linux.

Reception and usage

In 2015, Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, said that "[t]his is just very cool. I finally got around to play with the 'AppImage' version of Subsurface, and it really does seem to 'just work'." Mark Shuttleworth stated that "AppImages are a pretty clean experience and I admire the work behind them."
