Qidi Slicer Appimage for linux fails to Launch #86

I am running Nixos and have tried multiple ways to run this appimage, but everyway it fails.. There seems to be an issue with the dependency with webkit2gtk

QIDITECH commented 3 weeks ago

Bundling WebKit into the AppImage is difficult because it leads to various issues with its dependencies. So far we did not manage to create an AppImage that would reliably run on all relevant distros.

Some linux systems don't come with libwebkit2gtk, so you'll need to install it manually.

sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

Or, some of the latest distributions such as Ubuntu 24.04 upgraded the libwebkit2gtk to 4.1 and do not ship 4.0 any longer. Please refer to #78.
