Pull request overview
Adds documentation for installing iOpenPod via the Arch User Repository (AUR) to improve installation UX and desktop integration on Arch-based distributions.
Changes:
- Updates the Linux download row to “Linux (All distros)” for the generic tarball.
- Adds a new “Linux (Arch-based)” row linking to the
iopenpodAUR package. - Notes that in-app self-updating does not apply when installed via AUR.
| | **Linux (All distros)** | `iOpenPod-linux.tar.gz` | Extract, and run `./iOpenPod` | | ||
| | **Linux (Arch-based)** | [`iopenpod`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iopenpod)<sup>AUR</sup> | Available in the AUR | | ||
|

| Once installed, iOpenPod can check for updates automatically and can update itself right from the app. | ||

The new Arch-based row uses the "File" column to link to an AUR package name rather than a downloadable file, which makes the table semantics a bit inconsistent. Consider renaming the column header to something like "Download"/"Package" or adjusting the Arch row wording to match the existing "File" convention, and optionally include a brief install/update hint (e.g., via an AUR helper or makepkg) to make this entry actionable.

awesome thanks, definitely join the discord server if u want to talk more about keeping linux support and distribution active! |
I made a package for iOpenPod on the Arch User Repository mainly for easier installation and adding a desktop entry on Arch-based distros. Here is a link to the package - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iopenpod. I intend to keep up with the updates because i use it often for my iPod.
