    Some AppImages have that built in, like Ente.

      That’s kind of the point though. One of the foundational pillars of a good distribution is mature package management, and that includes not relying on self-updaters that will pollute your system with untracked files

        Absolutely, but don’t AppImage updaters basically just replace the AppImage? They’re self-contained, no?
