Looking for PortableApps alternative for Linux / Ubuntu
I love PortableApps. I used it on windows to seperate cookies and identites with firefox portable. What do you recommend for Linux as I'm looking to switch to Ubuntu?

Buongiorno,
volevo chiedere una informazione:
E' possibile applicare una cartella personale fuori da quella già esistente di "Documenti"?
Se è già possibile, potreste cortesemente mostrarmi i passaggi?
Hi John,
I keep being tempted clicking the PortableApps.com logo and text on the lower left of the platform window when I want to go to the website.
Only to find it is not active or linked. What a waste of screen real estate!
Of course I have other means with Help - Support if I feel too lazy to just type it into my browser.
Maybe something to consider for a quiet hour.
Thanks!

Hello,
Wow I just plugged my PortableApps drive into a laptop with a high-definition screen and it came out looking like this,
The icon is all jagged and crude looking. I assume it's an .ico, correct?
Any chance this can be updated for computers with HD screens?
Thanks
I plugged the u disk into another computer and ran portable chrome in portableapps, but I found that the user settings and extensions of chrome disappeared, how can I keep my chrome extensions from disappearing because of changing computers, I am new to this, please forgive my ignorance. Much thanks!
Hello,
Trying to update my portable Chrome browser, as I did many times before - running GoogleChromePortable_89.0.4389.114_online.paf.exe and directing it to install into my main Chrome directory.
However, now the exe stub gets stuck right at the start of the download phase, refusing to draw in and download anything. It just displays "connecting...", and after a while shows an error message (ERROR: SendRequest Error). Same error after some more attempts.
Just wondering what the difference is between donating to PortableApps.com and sponsoring PortableApps.com?
Or does the money support the same things?
Thanks

Hey! I have installed After Effects portable. Then I installed the Motion3 extension. When Motion3 starts, a blank window opens. Who can explain how to write an extension in After Effects so that the program can see it?
Someone said that you need to register the extension in After Effects.ini, but I do not know how to do it.
The ini file itself is located at:
Portable Adobe After Effects \ App \ AppInfo \ Launcher \ After Effects.ini
Thank you in advance!
