How to run AppImage on PMOS? (appimage.org)

PostmarketOS (PMOS) is built on Alpine Linux. Recently, I tried running the Tuta image but didn’t have any luck.

I’m eager to learn more about this topic and would love to share any solutions I discover along the way.

This. Also, most AppImages are x86_64 only. If they don't explicitly say it's for aarch64/arm64 you are going to also need some fun architecture translation (box64, fex, ...) to make the thing run. At that point, it's in many cases easier to try building from source IMHO.

PS: Good luck on Wayland can also be added, given probonopd's (AppImage inventor) stance on Wayland. I'd advise to not waste time with AppImages on #MobileLinux.
