Wiki Suggestion:
As per the title, hereby a suggestion to use AM/AppMan as the defacto CachyOS AppImage manager.

As octopi is the Swiss army knife for an AUR manager, in the same vein AM/AppMan is the Swiss army knife for AppImages and it's management thereof, from the commandline or with a GUI, whatever your preference is. To say that AM/AppMan is the AUR of AppImages is no exaggeration. It can safely replace any currently recommended and alternative AppImage managers without ever having to look back.

With AM/AppMan you can currently manage up to 2905 unique apps (2489 Appimage packages and 416 standalone/portable programs), plus 78 items, and growing! It currently supports PORTABLE PROGRAMS from official sources (see Firefox, Thunderbird, NodeJS, Platform Tools...), extracted from official .deb/tar/zip packages. APPIMAGES, from both official and unofficial sources, or compiled on-the-fly with pkg2appimage and appimagetool, like an AUR helper, from official archives. FIREFOX PROFILES to run as webapps, the ones with suffix "ffwa-" in the apps list. THIRD-PARTY LIBRARIES if they are missing in your repositories.

Additional information:
AppImage Package Manager: AppImage sandboxing, local and system installation, update all AppImages, an extensible database of AppImages and portable apps, lists for AppImages and other GNU/Linux binaries, integrate AppImages by drag/drop or install unlisted AppImages, conversion of old AppImage types... and more! Manage AppImages like never before!
