And it seems that Yuzu isn't able to write in its folder.

I am very sorry, but I could not understand your issue. So which folder did yuzu not able to write to? And what was the issue that caused? Were you not able to add games?

Hey, I realizes my bug reporting wasn't clear. So I encounter 2 issues: * Yuzu seem unable to write anything in XDG_DATA_HOME/yuzu. It's even worse the folder "yuzu" doesn't get created and yuzu keep starting as not having any config. (Like asking again and again about anonymous tracking and not remembering any setting) * Surely related, clicking Open Yuzu folder does nothing. I already uninstall yuzu, deleted the ~/.var/app/org.yuzu* folder completely, and reinstall it. Same issue. I saw then this error message when installing the application and wonder if it was linked.

Never encountered this issue. And the warnings

Warning: Removing magic mime rule from exports
Warning: Removing magic mime rule from exports
Warning: Removing magic mime rule from exports
Warning: Not exporting file org.yuzu_emu.yuzu.appdata.xml of unsupported type.

Should be benign, or at least not relevant to this problem. mainline-0-983 is pretty old now though. Do you still have this issue with a recent version?

@Belphemur Are you still having this installation issue? If so, I would recommend you to try the AppImage version, or look for a more integrated solution, such as EmuDeck.
