hello everybody this is tech cut in this video what i'm going to be doing is talking about app images and a wonderful way to go ahead and download and manage them now this right here is app image pool this is the application that we are going to be discussing in this video uh but before we dive too much into that just quickly on the app images what are they essentially they're just a one of the couple different forms of containerized applications in linux they do work a little bit differently they if you're somebody who comes from windows the best way i can kind of describe or compare these to something is they're a lot like a portable exe that some windows applications ship with or some windows applications ship with that they don't want to ship that way now there are a lot of benefits to using app image a lot of times it has almost the same or very similar performance when comparing it to a natively installed application but to me one of the best reasons to use app images is to have different versions of the same application on your system if you're somebody who uses linux and uses foss applications particularly you may notice that sometimes features break um i'm mostly pointing fingers at kaden live after certain software updates so it's always good to be able to use something like this to go back a version really easily so right here this is app image pool all the app images it's just going to go ahead and pull from the app image hub but right here installing it's pretty easy there are a couple different methods the preferred seems to be flat packages which is kind of funny but of course you can get an app image of this app image store for me i'm going to be using flat pack because i'm on a pretty weird linux distribution at the moment i'm currently running uh clear linux which isn't really designed for my use case but i'm trying it out anyway and this seems to have a or it does have a very heavy leaning on flat packages so what i'm going to do is just go over to their store of course you can install this any other way you would install flat packages there's the command there and of course you could go ahead and just get the app image of it but i'm just gonna go here let's search up app there it is app image pool let's go ahead and give that a quick install and there we go it's installed that was almost as quick as uh setting up your very own instance over on the node which happens to be the sponsor of today's video anything that you need a linux server for they are for you they have easy one-click installs so you takes away a lot of the work that you have to do so with a simple click you could have a minecraft server up and running for instance they have fantastic customer support you talk to real people overall it's a good deal i've been using them for quite some time for tech dot tv and if you use the link in the description you'll get a NUMBER_TOKEN day credit basically if you don't click that link you are just giving up money you might as well get that NUMBER_TOKEN credit try it out and chances are you'll love it so now that it is installed let's go ahead and go up here go to our app image pool application and here we are it's looking pretty good we have our featured apps
