I am using PopOs 22. I am not able to download Etcher using the appimage file available on their official website. I was easily able to open it in the previous distributions just by double-clicking but on PopOs it does not open. I searched quite a but about this but couldn't find a fix. These are some things I have done trying to fix the issue.
1) Changed the file permissions. Now it looks like this.
2) Tried to create an executable by entering `chmod +x balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage
` in the directory where the appimage file exists.
I still can not open the appimage file after making the above 2 changes.
Using the Deb repos:
I tried installing Etcher using the deb repos as well but it does not install successfully even using this method. It says 
There are alternatives for Etcher so this is not a huge issue (PopOs has pre-installed popsicle for burning iso files). However, I really like this distro and I want to stick with it. Not being able to open appimage files is a concern for me. Any help with this issue is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I tried installing Etcher using the deb repos as well but it does not install successfully even using this method. It says chmod: balena-etcher-electron: no such file or directory at the end of the installation. This installs Etcher on the system though (I can see it in the list of applications) but when I try to open it, nothing happens, I cant open this app either. This is the link that I followed
