Whatpulse AppImage refuses to launch on KDE Garuda Wayland. Issue does not occur on KDE Bazzite Wayland.
As run through terminal to get output. This is an error I’m unfamiliar with, seems to be caused by a font? It’s pretty simple, no matter what I do, starting Whatpulse seems to fail. I don’t have this issue with any other AppImages on Garuda nor do I have it on my other Linux Distro at the moment (Bazzite Wayland KDE)
`chmod +x whatpulse-linux-latest_amd64.AppImage `
