Downloaded and installed Sigil 1.9.20 Flatpak onto my Dell E6510 laptop via my distro's (Linux Mint 20.3) software repository. But when I go to launch it, nothing happens--no error message or anything. Confusing. I thought Flatpaks are supposed to contain everything needed to install and run an application program.

I'd very much appreciate any tips on how to get Sigil to work on my computer. I did see a previous posting here with instructions on how to build Sigil from source code. I suppose i could try that, but I'm a Linux newbie and am not sure I wouldn't screw it all up.
