 ### Ownership
 - "**AM**" is owned by the user that have installed it, since other users have not read/write permissions in "/opt/am";
 - "**AppMan**" is for all users, since it works locally, everyone can have its own apps and configurations.
 
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
 ### About "sudo" usage
 - "AppMan" can request the root password only in the very rare case in which you want to install a library;
 - "AM" requires the root password only to install, remove apps, enable a sandbox for an AppImage, or enable/disable bash completion.
 
 All options cannot be executed with "`sudo`".

+The change to the default location for .desktop files from /usr/share/applications to /usr/local/share/applications was made to bring "AM" in line with GNU/Linux standards for installing system-wide third-party applications, see [here](https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html).

 The configuration file for AppMan is in `~/.config/appman` and contains the path you indicated at first startup. Changing its contents will result in changing the paths for each subsequent operation carried out with "AppMan", the apps and modules stored in the old path will not be manageable.
 
 At first startup you can indicate any directory or subdirectory you want, as long as it is in your $HOME.
