What’s the best way to install App Man, direct or via distrobox?
I think it's safe to install it directly as it stores everything in a single directory. For AppImages there is also AppImagePool + AppImageLauncher (can be installed rootless, useful for better integration of appimages).

Why do a lot of people advocate for appimages while hating the idea of downloading random applications off the internet?
It's called AppImage Pool available at GitHub and in the Flathub. It also had a video done on it by TechHut.

"AM" and AppMan - that's why they don't include support for AppImageHub and similar sites
The preferred sources for downloading packages in AppImage format via "AM" / AppMan are GitHub and Sourceforge, however, writing installation scripts that are compatible with one or more programs is a difficult task. Just think that many developers add multiple versions of the same product in the same tag (I have to include also commands to find the exact name of the latest version to avoid the download of other packages), or include more complex links that require an equally complex function to obtain the latest version of a program, and this slows down the loading of these programs on the "AM" repository I manage. I have therefore included excellent AppImage package managers such as "Bread" and "Zap" among the downloadable programs, but also "AppimagePool" and "bauh" are available among the graphics applications (not counting a "Pacstall" AppImage versionI made). These tools should compensate the lack of support for certain sources that I have not included in the "AM" repository.

Find, Download, and Update AppImages quickly with 'Pool' app (works with Kubuntu)
I downloaded the appimage (seemed appropriate). Then marked it as executable.

MS and Windows gets a lot of (well deserved) hate, but winget is just fantastic!
Take dropbox as an example. This is what the yaml manifest looks like for that if you install it through winget. It literally has a hardcoded link to an .exe installer hosted by dropbox and then just set the flags to silent. I am not spreading misinformation, you are.

Windows is the malware compatibility layer for everything
It's not quite the same though, as there are different considerations when using a repository of things a unified group has decided should be included and built (or slightly modified existing) packages for and a repo where anyone can submit a package that will go through some level of vetting. In the end I still believe most this discussion is really about individuals and how much trust they apply towards different groups and sources and is not really about Linux or Windows in particular as much.

Seven.zip
I think that's part of the problem, if you don't have that package manager to bootstrap your signature key ring, DNS is your next best bootstrap. It is, of course, a terrible bootstrap for trust, but it is one so many users on Windows have been relying on for such a long time.
For power users on any modern Windows 10/Windows 11 there is at least WinGet now. Its manifests repo is becoming a very interesting (open) source of truth for common Windows applications. Admittedly, it in most cases doesn't seem to be checking specific code signatures in most cases either, but at least includes SHA checksums.
For instance, 7zip's manifests: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...
It's too bad there's still not a great option for "average user that doesn't know/trust how to use a CLI", given how sadly polluted the Microsoft Store can be for many common, especially Open Source, applications. For direct instance, because winget kindly includes Microsoft Store results when searching, there is a "7zip 22" in the Microsoft Store that costs some amount of money (winget details say "PaidUnknownPrice" for the pricing information; I'm on a corporate machine right now with the actual Store access locked so can't search in the actual Store right now) and the Publisher is listed as RepackagerExpress.com. (That website currently doesn't go anywhere, giving it a spot check.)
Having seen this, I may boot up my personal machine and try to report this specific Store listing for violating the Store's Open Source policies, though I'm unsure if such whackamole is all that useful. (Seems like it might be a useful winget feature request for it to provide Store Report URLs.)
