When launching the AppImage on Linux without FUSE 2 installed, the app
exits silently with no visible error to the user:
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2
AppImages require FUSE to run.
This only appears in a terminal - launching from a file manager shows nothing,
making it hard to diagnose.
Fix for users:
- Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install libfuse2
- Fedora:
sudo dnf install fuse
Workaround (no install needed):
Run with the built-in extract flag:
./Recordly-linux-x64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run
This bypasses FUSE entirely.
Suggestion: Add a note to the README mentioning the FUSE dependency
and the --appimage-extract-and-run workaround for Linux users.
Environment: Linux, x86-64
