📰 Use AppManger to install, update AppImages on Ubuntu

AppImages are designed to be simple. Download one, make it executable and run it. On Ubuntu, though, there’s an extra step: installing FUSE 2 (libfuse2t64), as some AppImages rely on it. Ubuntu ships FUSE 3 by default. AppManager is a new(ish) GTK4/Libadwaita app which fixes that particular annoyance by mounting AppImages through uruntime instead of FUSE. It handles the usual SquashFS-packed AppImages, plus the newer DwarFS-packed ones too.
