… while other QT apps run just fine. Full error message:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland-egl"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The AppImage is an x11 app based on ubuntu 16.04, it's expected to be used in x11/xwayland.

Forcing it to wayland is not supported and will never work without starting from scratch.

The flatpak only works on pure wayland, because it doesn't support touch input and is compiled with glfw
