There is a matching thread on KA now, anyone looking here later may want to
also check there:
https://krita-artists.org/t/krita-5-3-0-alpha-appimage-crashes-on-startup/157165

Having a report where someone needs specific hardware and a specific Linux
distro with the correct desktop environment with the correct version makes this
very hard for a developer to triage, since they would have to spend several
hours setting up this specific configuration to even try to confirm it. I can
tell you it works fine running Arch on an AMD machine with dwm on X11, but
that’s not sufficient to confirm or deny the bug.

If you just want to have the bug be confirmed, it is sufficient for someone
else to reproduce it, it doesn’t need to be a developer. If you want progress
on the bug, you can do the following:

* Check again with the current AppImage.

* Try again with a clean application data directory. You can do this by running
HOME=”$(pwd)/kritahome ./Krita-*.AppImage, that’ll just create a new home
directory with everything fresh.

* See how it behaves with different window managers or other permutations of
the prerequisites. If it reproduces with other ones, you have more of a chance
that someone already has the same setup or at least is able to install
something more lightweight.

* Get a trace with gdb. There’s some instructions on the KDE wiki that are
shown to you when reporting the bug:
