Three fixes for cross-distro compatibility: - Keep libvdpau.so in the bundle. It's a dispatcher library, not a GPU driver. The backend drivers in /usr/lib/vdpau/ are still excluded. Without the dispatcher, the AppImage fails to start on distros where libvdpau isn't installed by default (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04). - Replace the QtWebEngineProcess bash wrapper with a statically-linked C binary. The bash wrapper was crashing on Ubuntu because the host's /bin/bash was loaded by the host's dynamic linker, which then picked up the bundled Arch glibc via LD_LIBRARY_PATH — an ABI mismatch that segfaults. A static binary has no shared library dependencies, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH is irrelevant to it. - Improve APPDIR derivation in the wrapper. Instead of relying solely on the APPDIR environment variable (which may not be inherited by subprocesses), derive it from the binary's own path via /proc/self/exe.
