This seems to be the issue: https://fostips.com/double-click-run-elf-ubuntu/

But seriously, why???

Sure enough, I downloaded bitcoin 0.8.6 and sure enough, I could double click to start it (though it fails due to missing legacy lib). It has mime type application/x-executable instead of application/x-sharedlib

Is there a Bitcoin Core issue on Github tracking this? I'm not very familiar with Linux desktops.

I don't think so. Maybe I should open one?

Nice! Now please fix whatever you use to receive zaps, because mine aren't showing up :-)

Thanks for the tip! However, I have no clue on how to enable zaps on my LNURL server (LNURLp on LNBits). Maybe you have some pointers? I run LNBits on top of a Core Lightning node. I'd expect some lnbits extension to do this for me, but can't find any.
