[BUG]: AppImage version fails to run scripts on Fedora about privacy.sexy HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks for the issue @IzNoGud78, this will be addressed as high priority in a patch release.

Which version of Fedora are you using? I read that GNOME environments define x-terminal-emulator.

We should update the logic to:

1. Check x-terminal-emulator, if exists, run the file.
2. Check terminal emulator A, if exists, run the file...
3. Check terminal emulator B, if exists, run the file...

However, before enumerating terminals randomly, we should try to prioritize the default terminal emulator the user has. And there seems to be no way to do that.

Then the enumeration approach would be the only way for known terminals, maybe following this order:

gnome-terminal, konsole, xfce4-terminal, mate-terminal, lxterminal, alacritty, tilix, kitty, wezterm, terminology, guake, tilda, terminator, xterm, uxterm, rxvt, urxvt, st, qterminal, lilyterm, hyper, eterm, aterm, termite, roxterm, termit, rio, foot, sakura, cool-retro-term

What do you think about this solution?

Btw, what is your default terminal and its command?

As previously specified I use Fedora 39 with Cinnamon but, unfortunately, even on the Workstation version (the default one with GNOME) the virtual package x-terminal-emulator isn't present. It isn't possible to define x-terminal-emulator even as a system alternatives.

x-terminal-emulator is a virtual package used only by Debian (and Debian-based distributions), so the problem occurs with all other distributions.

I believe that currently, at least as far as Fedora is concerned, there is no meta package (or specific command) that can be used to start the default terminal, so I assume that the best method that can fit all needs is to draw up a hard-coded list of the possible terminals that can be used or, alternatively, let the user specify via a dialog box which terminal to use.

Thank you for the context. I think asking for default terminal can be low priority feature later and then we should go for the hardcoded list.

What terminal do you have by default on Fedora? I'm asking this so I'll ensure that it will be in the list so we can test it once implemented.

@undergroundwires I currently use the default terminal, which on both the Workstation and Cinnamon version is gnome-terminal.
Obviously, however, it is one of those components that changes depending on the desktop environment being used or the user's preferences.
