Quoting: pleasereadthemanualOhhh nice tip! I didn't know that, probably because I've never needed it, but it's still good to know.Quoting: legluondunetYou still need a root password to install Flatpak applicationsOnly if you want to install it as a system-wide package.
You can install it in your user with the --user option.

You still need a root password to install Flatpak applications, not with Appimage, that makes big difference.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but I think in the eyes of most Appimage is a dead format. It had it's place but has been supplanted by Flatpak or even Snap in combination with native app stores and, in extreme cases, distrobox.Dead format? All the emulators and others apps I use are available this days in Appimage format (and Flatpak too).

But...they still not provide Appimage for stable or nightly builds:

The latest Appimage available on Appimagehub is two years old:
https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1567651/ [External Link]
However, you can now find easily unofficial Dolphin Appimage.
For me it's not a problem because I know how to compile it.
But for basic users, Flatpak and Appimage is a must to have.
And it's pleasant to just download and launch a program, without having bother to compile it, even for a Linux user.

Nice to see the Steam Deck continuing to have a positive impact for Linux users everywhere. Valve clearly made the right decision to support installing apps via Flatpak/Flathub.Clearly! Developers have now standards on Linux (Flatpak, Proton) and they use it.

Dolphin developers should be aware that Linux users, like Windows users, enjoy downloading a program and running it directly without needing to compile it.
At least Flatpak has been recently updated:

Someone knows if this variable environment works with NVK too?
