Just so you know, i love portableapps for windows. I was just angry hungry with the fact that it put this website/app when i search for my f droid/flathub equivalent.
I've been using it for over a decade. My life would not be the same without this tool and the recommendations for portable programs that I got from its official site.
convenient and simple
I'm often hesitant to download portable apps from portableapps.com because they're so bloated with stuff from portableapps.com. Is there a way to download clean portables from portableapps.com?
It has all the necessary apps and updated regularly !
portableapps.com is listed with the Linux tag. This should be removed. The site states that Wine is required to run their collection under Linux. They also suggest Wine and other emulated solutions to get these native Windows apps to run under macOS. You might as well boot into Windows on a Virtual Machine and run these apps or remove Linux entirely and replace with Windows.
I was a big fan of this site and especially portablefreeware.com (which I miss dearly) when I was a Windows user but these are not native Linux apps. On a positive note, Linux should soon see real (native), stable, portable solutions becoming more mainstream in the form of Ubuntu Snap Packages, Flatpak and others.
I'll modify it, the linux tag. Try to do it next time, please ;). But no worries, i understand the need to say something. And to ask for someone else's help to modify it for you.
