Describe the bug Fedora 44 Atomic Desktops (Kinoite, Silverblue, ...) dropped support for FUSE2 libraries
As a consequence, latest Lens AppImage (Lens-2026.4.151333-latest.x86_64.AppImage) does not start any more on such systems.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Try starting up latest AppImage on any Fedora 44 atomic desktop
peter@pad:~/Apps/Lens$ ./Lens-2026.4.151333-latest.x86_64.AppImage
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory
Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
