I'm trying to install DuckStation on Linux Mint and I'm stuck on step 2 that mentions running 'chmod a+x' on the downloaded AppImage. Can someone explain what this command does? Is it something I need to run in the terminal, and how exactly do I do that?

Yeah, 'chmod a+x' is a command you need to run in the terminal. Basically, it changes the file permissions to make the .AppImage executable. To do this, just open your terminal, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the AppImage, and type `chmod a+x duckstation-x64.AppImage`. Then you can run it like any other executable file.
Got it! I opened the terminal and that worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
