Using Bitwarden as an AppImage on Debian with GNOME

Another one really to help me remember what I have done.

I’m using Bitwarden on my Debian desktop, which runs GNOME.

I’m storing the AppImage file in /home/neil/.local/bin/.

I also have an icon file (just the Bitwarden logo, found from somewhere), stored in there.

To create a desktop file for GNOME, in /home/neil/.local/share/applications/bitwarden.desktop I have:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Bitwarden
Icon=/home/neil/.local/bin/bitwarden.png
Exec=/home/neil/.local/bin/Bitwarden-2023.12.0-x86_64.AppImage
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
Categories=Utility

This means that, each time Bitwarden self-updates, the file path changes, so I can longer find it in GNOME. This blogpost should help remind me which bit to change.

(I know that there’s AppImageLauncher; I haven’t tried it.)
