Let me start this with a confession:

I really wanted to like AppImages

The promise is compelling: universal Linux binaries that run everywhere without installation. Just download, chmod +x, and go. It’s the kind of elegant simplicity that makes you think “why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Then reality hits.

The Cursor Catalyst

This whole adventure started when I decided to try Cursor, the AI-powered code editor that’s my daily code editor. Unfortunately, it’s not updated frequently in AUR, so I decided to try the AppImage. When I tried to run it, I got the following error:

VS Code Profile Extension Manager (VPEM) is a powerful command-line tool designed to help you manage your Visual Studio Code extensions across different profiles. It allows you to dump, categorize, and apply extensions with ease, streamlining your VS Code setup process.
