For Linux builds there are just two: linux-x64-archive and linux-ia32-archive.

Can't you just point to the Github download page instead of the tarball? That would be much better for RPM, deb and AppImage users.

We should consider if it makes more sense to manually return a url of the releases page form this API or should have the update process write the releases page as the url during post-build (but only for Linux): https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/update_version.sh#L46
