I do almost all my computer on Linux devices these days, and I don’t manage that without a lot of useful Linux software. One of my favorite formats for Linux software is AppImages, and these are the ones I always keep on-hand.
AppImages are single executable files that contain everything an app needs to run. That means you don’t need to worry about dependencies or software bases in order to run them. So long as your desktop is running libraries used on just about any Linux system, you can probably run an AppImage.
Feishin
Remote listening to my music collection
I listen to music all day while I work, maintaining playlists that help me stay focused and not completely bored for the monotonous parts of work. In the past, I relied on Spotify Premium or YouTube for this, but I’ve since developed my private collection. I keep a Jellyfin server running with my entire digital library.
What makes my Jellyfin music listening even better though is listening to it through Feishin, which is available as an AppImage. It’s designed similar to the Spotify desktop app, but it gives me a ton of control over that interface. Everything from artist pages to the now-playing visualizer can be customized in dozens of ways. It supports timed lyrics (both from your server and remote fetching), makes random recommendations, and can automatically DJ for you.
To get the AppImage, you can go to the Feishin GitHub release page and look through the assets for it in the latest release.
