I've installed Calibre, KATE and LibreOffice on a recent model x86-64 (AKA AMD64) using the enabled Linux Development system which is some sort of Debian based Container. I had to set a password for the user because the default "password-less" sudo makes no sense

Calibre setup works with the default Linux user's home, but vanishes after initialising.
Running from command line I get some sort of wayland error "Screen5" screen model: "unknown"

But QT_QPLATFORM=xcb calibre worked and then I was able to move library to the SD card (which I couldn't choose at install)
Doing export QT_QPLATFORM=xcb in terminal works for subsequent calibre in terminal, but not from Launcher icon.
I can't figure where to put the setting so the Launcher icon works.
Trying to edit the desktop file used by Launcher didn't work but maybe I did it wrong.
