When trying to use the updater on Linux, I encountered the error Unsupported operating system or platform. The problem was that I ran my application after installing it with the .deb package and not directly from the AppImage.
I spent some time figuring out where the problem was from because this error message is the same as the error message used if target_arch or target_os is unsupported.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think using a different error message for those two cases would be really helpful.
Also, it could be profitable to add a note in the documentation to inform developers that a user on Linux need to run the AppImage if he wants to use the updater.

I see this as a documentation issue, not something addressable through code, but yes you are correct we should be more forthcoming about which packaging formats support updating and which do not.
