AppImage is like the other bundle under linux as Snap or Flatpak (you use
already one of this previously), excepted the non chroot mechanism which
restrict access to the system by the application. This is a heresy for me.
Since a very long time, Linux application work fine without restrictions,
why to mime, Windows here, as we know that system is badly designed from
the start...

Try the AppImage. It just a stand alone executable which will uncompress in
a temp dir all the necessary to run digiKam. Just pin the file from your
desktop to start it. That all. The rest, application work like a native one.
