> Hello, I''m having issues in running the designer app on an Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS x86\_64 machine. I noticed someone had the same issue on Mint back in 2019, but the workarounds didn't work for me. I tried both .desktop and .sh files but none work. It opens a terminal for less than a second and then nothing happens! Has anyone been able to run the Designer or Perspective Workstation apps on the mentioned distro? Thank you!
