Dirty Portables make changes on the host and then attempt to remove/mitigate changes
Clean Portables make ZERO changes on the host.
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.
