*Exactly* what error message are you getting?

Older AppImage will want an *older* version of fuse.  You *should* be able to 
explicitly install the older shared library:

marchhare% dpkg-query -l libfuse\* | grep ^ii
ii  libfuse2:arm64   2.9.9-6+b1   arm64        Filesystem in Userspace (library)
ii  libfuse3-3:arm64 3.14.0-4     arm64        Filesystem in Userspace (library) (3.x version)

(Yes, this is a RPi 5 arm64, but the principle is the same for x86_64 
Xubuntu.)
