Sure if you like having an insecure system.

Appreciate it, but honest question: What's the difference (in user terms, not technical) between packages, AppImages, and FlatPaks?

Get gearlever. Sets up appimages so they appear in the menu. Spend five minutes setting up the app information and gearlever can check for updates, download them, and set everything up for you.

I’m on MX as well. Gearlever works just fine.
