Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/178

Describe the bug
Drop (Drop Desktop Client) cannot be opened on an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X running SteamOS 3.9. The AppImage crashes immediately on launch. When started from the console, it either aborts due to an EGL initialization failure (EGL_BAD_PARAMETER) or panics because required AppIndicator libraries are missing (ayatana-appindicator3 / appindicator3), resulting in a core dump.

To Reproduce

  1. On SteamOS 3.9, download Drop.Desktop.Client_0.3.4_amd64.AppImage.
  2. Move it to: /home/deck/Applications/
  3. Make the AppImage executable (e.g. chmod +x Drop.Desktop.Client_0.3.4_amd64.AppImage).
  4. Launch it from Desktop Mode (double click) or from a terminal.
  5. Observe that Drop crashes immediately.

Expected behavior
Drop should launch normally and show its main window (and tray icon if enabled), without crashing.

Hi,
The recommended way to install drop on steam os is through distrobox. There's a guide available here: https://docs.droposs.org/docs/installing-drop-app/steamdeck.
Could you try the guide and let me know if you run into issues?
Thanks.
