Appimage doesn't work on Debian-Testing

(#751) Bug Fixed desktop packaging
by RexSystem edited originally by @eugenialoli on GitHub

Summary

Debian-Testing has moved to libfuse3, and so it doesn't work with the appimage: dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 Other appimages work fine, because they don't hardcode the version of libfuse. Please update the appimage to use whatever version of libfuse is installed.

Steps to reproduce

Debian Testing

A. Use sharun so that it even runs on musl distros & really old ubuntu versions (as down as 14) B. Do it in the same way that other appimages that run on debian testing (would be cool if you gave an example for those) C. Don't care about those distros Somebody from fluxer make a choice and let me know

A, never used sharun, don't know what to do with that B. The other ones that don't work with that error, also don't work, but most appimages do work. C. I do, and a lot of other people do too. I asked around on Debian's fluxer support group, and they said that the libfuse2 dependency mostly comes from Electron, it's not a needed dependency on the actual app. They said that libfuse3 is the one to use now, because v2 is full of security holes etc.
