Does the AppImage run on Linux/Kubuntu distro ?

Does the AppImage at https://github.com/phcode-dev/phoenix-desktop/releases/download/prod-app-v5.2.5/phoenix-code_5.2.5.AppImage run on Linux/Kubuntu distro please ?

Yes, that AppImage is the regular Linux build and runs on Kubuntu; the docs say Phoenix Code is tested on both GNOME and KDE. The easiest way is the official installer, wget -qO- https://updates.phcode.io/linux/installer.sh | bash, which downloads the current AppImage, installs libfuse2 and libsecret only if the app can't start without them, and adds the menu entry and a phcode command. If you'd rather run the AppImage by hand, you need Kubuntu 22.04 or newer (glibc 2.35+), the libfuse2t64 package (libfuse2 on 22.04) and chmod +x on the file. On 24.04 and newer you may also have to start it with --no-sandbox, because Ubuntu restricts the user namespaces that Electron's sandbox uses; the installer's phcode wrapper does that fallback for you.
