Opening an AppImage on the Steam Deck is pretty straightforward. First, make sure you have 'Developer Mode' enabled in your settings. Then, use the Discover App to install an application called 'AppImageLauncher' – this will make it a breeze to integrate AppImages into your system. Simply download the AppImage file you want, navigate to it using the file manager, right-click, and choose 'Open with AppImageLauncher'. Voila, you're all set!

Just chmod +x the AppImage file and run it directly from the terminal. No need to overcomplicate things with extra apps.
