@oleksii AppImages don't support musl systems. You can try setting up a distrobox or a chroot with a glibc-distro and launch the AppImage there.

This. Also, most AppImages are x86_64 only. If they don't explicitly say it's for aarch64/arm64 you are going to also need some fun architecture translation (box64, fex, ...) to make the thing run. At that point, it's in many cases easier to try building from source IMHO.
PS: Good luck on Wayland can also be added, given probonopd's (AppImage inventor) stance on Wayland. I'd advise to not waste time with AppImages on #MobileLinux.
@oleksii By realizing Appimages aren't portable at all and in fact a bit stupid, and then realizing you should've used Flatpak instead.
Honestly, they only work on systems that look like the system they were built on. And those systems do not run Musl libc...
Did u try run it from terminal ?
