AppImages on Armbian Jammy XFCE (Luna)?

Hello,

 

I've got a Le Potato, and a Tritium (I like the Tritium better, but I "feel" that Le Potato is a little bit quicker for longer). I've had them for about a week, I am a daily *nix user, and run several RBPi's around my home - 3D printers, Motion Cameras, Christmas Lights, and one is even a back up web server. My notebook runs Arch, my server runs Gentoo, and my workstation usually runs RebornOS or ZeroArch depending on my mood).

 

When I started using these Libre Boards, I was happily impressed but using them as a desktop (my intention is/was to get my kids a 3D printer, and use these to do double duty as slicers, and basic desktops (I've got a few RPi Zero 2 W's for OctoPrint).

My question (finally), is it possible to get AppLauncher to work on Armbian (Running Jammy Luna XFCE currently)? I've installed AppLauncher, and it makes a link to the ~/Applications folder like it should, but no AppImages run (Etcher and Cura 5.2.2 anyhow). I'm not at my desk right now, but running them in command line they don't seem to have everything they need to run. I did install Cura 4.what.ever but that lacks so many features my kid's will need, I don't want to bother with it. 

 

I tried to use Prusa-Slicer as well, but the poor little SBC gets fussy when it has burned through all of its ram before we've even clicked "Slice". Cura 4.what.ever is next to useless too (it did slice, I did get a print from it, but it wasn't pretty).

 

Either way, tinkering around on the little guys with web cruising (Chromium usually), editing conky files (with NANO usually), playing with XFCE themes, or shopping Amazon, they only last around 45 minutes to an hour before they stop responding for tens of minutes at a time, and need to be "sudo shutdown -rF now" via ctl+F1. I have heat sinks on them, and the hottest I've seen them get is 70c but that was only for a few seconds. They seem to hang out in the mid 60's most of the time.
