Also affecting appimage version, and appimage versions on other non-Ubuntu Linux. Same bug I reported here, initially before discovering repo version affected as well: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/16496 running from terminal with verbose flag: gecko@localhost:~> retroarch --verbose [INFO] [Config]: Looking for config in: "/home/gecko/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg".
