However to gain a better understanding of what people are voting for, this is being split up into separate topics. See the others here:
We would like Patch My PC to support MSIX / AppX as a primary installer type alongside MSI and EXE. These apps can be deployed either on a per-user or per-machine basis.
Here are some related requests for specific MSIX apps that you may wish to upvote:

UNDER CONSIDERATION
Python is switching their deployment from individual packages to python install manager in the near future. Install manager is deployed via MSIX package. Please add support for this package.
Please also add "Warehouse Management App" (Dynamics 365) for Windows.

Please add - Drawboard PDF for Windows - A powerful PDF editor to the list as well. :)
For security we block the store and Winget, so would be helpful to have MSIX packages for Windows app and Company Portal
Needed for the new Remote desktop tool, stupidly called Windows App. What is wrong with Microsoft? First the name is just dumb and second they decide to go to MSIX?

They do this using Winget, would be fantastic to leverage Winget updates into PMPC!
Especially for ConfigMgr, where it doesn't allow you to easily push store app updates out like Intune.
I don't know about Config Manager, but most of these are available to install from the Microsoft Store using functionality built into Intune.
Great, all links are working. Thanks for sharing
Also 1Password announcing deprecation of exe in favour of MSIX.
I'd say yes to adding MSIX/AppX support, but still keep support for everything else. I don't think I have any MSIX/AppX installers in my repository.. that I'm aware of. I tend to stay away from MSI installers because they always seem to be bulky and slow to install on older machines that lack sufficient memory. Oh the biggest drawback of MSI is that you can only install one at a time. When I reinstall a machine, I tend to run multiple installers at the same time and get bogged down when I have to install Office and wait..
Also add for Slack MSIX as well.

This would be a huge selling point, IMO. MSIX packages offer a lot of security improvements and can be updated or uninstalled very cleanly.
