you can install distrobox rootless https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox with atoms (manages distrobox containers) https://github.com/AtomsDevs/Atoms and you will not need to disable read only ever again.

LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
Plus, well, there's already pacstall and makedeb for Ubuntu-based and Debian-based, as well as the option of using distrobox, junest, and eventually Atoms to just get a portable Arch environment or just using Conty if you only want a few specific things.

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
Arch2AppImage is useless, just like my Arch-Deployer (Arch2AppImage is inspired by my project, see it's README), I've also created an "issue" on its repository to explain why I've abandoned it, see https://github.com/hanzala123/arch2appimage/issues/25 ).
I'm a creator of AppImage packages, the basis always used (and recommended) is to create them based on old distributions for compatibility reasons. With this solution I want to try to break that rule. Both my Arch-deployer and the better known arch2appimage failed at this (and were archived as a result).

Two reasons because Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea
less than two years ago I published a bash script that can that downloads a package from the Arch repository or from ChaoticAUR with all its dependences, and this was a big success for me on this community and on github. Later someone else, inspired by this project, have developed its own tool with a better code and easier to use (DT on YouTube did also a review on it, here). Everithing is great, I'm glad about all this, but... I stopped work on my repo more than 1 year ago (about december 2021) for a reason, the same that I think the developer of arch2appimage have understand later (and I said it into an issue, here), that's why its project have no more commits since 9 months. Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea, here are two reasons:
- MicroOS arch distrobox and AUR
- all dependencies in one package
- LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
-
Lamenting What AppImage Could Have Been
If you are in Arch, arch2appimage can easily make packages from Chaotic AUR.
