No, updating AM2R or switching to the AM2RLauncher will not delete your saves, those are kept completely seperate.
However, loading old saves in a new version may make it unsafe to load them in old versions of the game again! If you're worried, make backups before updating.

1. Make sure that you installed the .NET Core runtime. Open a terminal, and type in `dotnet --info`. If the command doesn't error *and* you have `Microsoft.NET.CORE.App` with a version newer than 5.0 you installed it correctly.
2. Make sure you *don't* install the .NET Core runtime via Snap. If you did install it via Snap, uninstall it and install it following Microsoft's instructions.
