Roadmap

• Remove snap completely
• Add directory .Apps (or so) to store AppImages, link installed apps to ~/.local/bin
  • Add execution rights chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage
  • Add AppImages to the desktop using [this]
• Remove snap from PyCharm
  • replaced by jetbrains toolbox
• the spaces in install-scripts fixed
• Add a tutorial on how to install
  • Explicitly state that during Ubuntu installation, your computer should always be connected through the ethernet to the internet and always install proprietary drivers.
• Add a tutorial how to add packages

Additional features ideas

• Add flatpack alternatives to allow a user to select between apt and flatpack [link]
  • Rejected since most of the software is flatpack-only for the most recent releases
