  • Ubuntu 22.04 and newer
  • Fedora 36 and newer
  • Opensuse Leap 15.3 and newer
  • Opensuse Tumbleweed
  • Archlinux

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed for the Appimage to work (usually already installed in desktop distributions):

  • glibc version 2.30+
  • fuse2, fuse2 libraries, libopengl, libfribidi, libegl, libxgl
    • sudo apt-get install fuse libfuse2 libopengl0 libfribidi0

    • sudo zypper in fuse libfuse2 libharfbuzz0 libfribidi0 libthai0

Note that these are generally needed for AppImage to work, they are not specific to DevPod
