Different users need different things. Not everyone can run a bare bones Arch setup. I’d use it anyway even if I didn’t have a lot of updates. It’s the centralisation that’s important. It even updates Docker containers and windows. I have several devices I can just automate now. It’s a set and forget.
Alright be aware that AM not only can manage appimages, it also manages other portable formats and has access to over a 1000 static binaries from soarpkgs repo.
And it can do all of this at user level when used as appman, that is elevated rights are never needed to install anything and I can just take my HOME and drop it on any distro and be ready to go.
It made me get rid of flatpak all together and become an appimage contributor lol
