Issue for this PR
Closes #23538
Type of change
What does this PR do?
On Linux package-manager installs (RPM/DEB), Electron's in-app updater flow can restart without actually applying the update, which causes repeated "install and restart" prompts for the same version.
This gates desktop updater support on Linux to AppImage builds only (
APPIMAGEpresent), while keeping existing updater behavior for packaged macOS/Windows builds.How did you verify your code works?
