Joplin only works in terminal--no gui

[Daeraxa]

You have installed two versions of Joplin, the terminal app and the desktop app. They are independent and do not share a database or config.

joplin will lauch the terminal app, to launch the appimage from the terminal you should execute the full path of the joplin appimage.

I have a strong suspicion that you don't have fuse2 installed - see this thread and post:

AppImage incompatibility in Ubuntu 22.04

The link to the discussion is in the first post. The generally accepted workaround is to run: sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt install libfuse2 Edit: I see you already posted there with that info and one of the maintainers responded to you, not sure what else you are expecting us to know from the appimage project that isn't already there.
