WThe wall / Linux
Linux apps looking for beta testers.
Linux apps and tools that makers have put on the wall. You install them on your own machine, on your own distro, and write down what broke.

Why test Linux apps
Linux makers usually test on the one distro they run. Packaging (AppImage, Flatpak, .deb, a curl script), desktop environments and Wayland versus X11 are where their apps break for everyone else.
What to check on Linux apps
- Install on your distro: package format, dependencies, any manual steps.
- Wayland and X11, and your desktop environment.
- Permissions and sandboxing for Flatpak or Snap builds.
- Command-line help, error messages and exit codes, for CLI tools.
- Uninstalling cleanly.

Questions
- Which distros are useful for testing?
- Any. Say which one and which version you used, plus your desktop environment and display server, so the maker can reproduce what you found.
- Can I test command-line tools here?
- Yes, if the maker listed one. The brief tells you how to install it and what to try.
