Well I had the same error and the solution was to search for the file “WebKitNetworkProcess” sudo find / -name WebKitNetworkProcess 2>/dev/null and i find the file "WebKitNetworkProcess" in "/usr/lib/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess" I created the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/ and make a symlink to "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess" And now the .AppImage works fine 🤙🏼
