<p>OK, here's an update:<br>
I actually changed from Fedora, eventually settling on MX Linux.
Following Giles' advice, I'm now using the AppImage, and
everything's working fine. The AppImageLauncher mentioned on the
website wasn't working properly, so I just learnt how to manually
create a launcher.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch all.<br>

<p>Hi Gilles, <br>
I've been reading about AppImages, and it seems to me
that they're not designed for long term use - the whole
no install thing. Do I misunderstand?</p>
<p>What's the best way to install Digikam on linux? I'm
very new to this whole linux thing.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, Jethro.</p>
