What is arch2appimage?
arch2appimage is a Python tool that downloads Arch Linux packages—from both official repositories and the Arch User Repository (AUR)—and repackages them as AppImage executables. This enables users to run Arch-based software on other Linux distributions without system-level installation, enhancing portability and compatibility.
