On Linux, updates are only supported for the AppImage installation method. How can I detect this and not prompt the user for updates for deb/rpm/etc builds?

that's part of the appimage standard (or at least the runtime we use does it) and it's the path to the appimage

Yes. For the best end-user experience, you could set up a Debian package repository; it's a static file server. https://www.joshmcguigan.com/blog/host-debian-repo/
RPM is pretty simple: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-a-custom-rpm-repository-on-linux
