Lastly, there are keyboard shortcuts available to switch between apps, along with built-in notifications. And all this in a colorful and easy-to-use interface.

How to install Station on the different Linux distributions?

For those who are interested in being able to install this application or be able to test it on their systems, we can do it in a universal way in the different Linux distributions.

The only requirement is that your distribution can run applications of the AppImage type, although generally almost all current distributions (and with a graphical environment) run this type of application.

Now we must go to the application website where we can obtain the AppImage file in your download section.

Once the file has been downloaded in our system, we are now going to proceed to open a terminal and we must position ourselves in the directory where we save the file and in it we are going to execute the following command:

sudo chmod x+a station.appimage

With this, we gave the file execution permissions, once this is done we can now run the application on our system.

We can do it by double clicking on the file and it will be executed or from the terminal we can execute it with:

./station.appimage

When you start the file for the first time, you will be asked if you want to integrate the program with the system.

They must click "Yes" if they wish to integrate it or click "No" if they do not wish.

If you select Yes, the program launcher will be added to the application menu and installation icons. If you choose "No", you will always have to start it by double-clicking the AppImage.

Once the application is open, they will be asked to log in with a Gmail account. Immediately afterwards the application will show us a small list of applications that will be the ones that will be shown in the application interface.

After loading the first applications, it will show us a small tutorial. With it we can see the keyboard shortcuts that we will have the possibility to use to move between the applications that we have.
