[BUG]: cannot run appimage as non-root user on debian ( wayland ) #1336

Description

@flo-dhalluin

What happened?

downloaded the new 2.0.0 app image from official raspberry pi site, on startup I have big modal telling me the image needs root permission, then only choice is exit.
I can't run graphical app as root ( because wayland and appimages), I know my user has the right perms to flash sd cards because previous rpi-imager versions worked fine.
Is there a way to bypass this permission check ?
