Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4731

What would you like to see?

Hello developers, I am currently using Wayland KDE Plasma, and I encounter an issue where input methods are unusable after reinstalling software. Therefore, I request that you add a check to the installation script that, if the user is using Wayland KDE Plasma, adds the following parameters to the Exec= field of ~/.local/share/applications/anythingllmdesktop.desktop: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime. I would be very grateful.

See Using Fcitx 5 on Wayland

# This script installs AnythingLLMDesktop on Linux.
# On systems with AppArmor enabled, the AppImage needs to also create a userspace
# apparmor profile so that the AppImage can be run without SUID requirements due to root chromium ownership.
#
# Todo: Detect the current location of the AppImage so that we can update the application
# in-place without the user needed to manually move the application to the new location.
# This is also useful so that the apparmor location is always correct if the user edits it.
