Research direction

Start by locating the existing Arch instructions and reviewing the linked Arch FUSE page. Update the documentation to explain that FUSE must be installed manually and provide the required setup steps before the fusermount permission workaround. Done means an Arch user can follow the section to run an AppImage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The information here for Arch is,

If you are seeing "fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted"

sudo chmod u+s which fusermount

But this isn't the basic information we need. We first need to know that we have to manually install FUSE. And information on how to do this isn't given on the Arch wiki either (there, we're told only how to unmount FUSE).
