Describe the bug
When using the AppImage version, launching VRCX from the desktop entry (VRCX.desktop) modifies the desktop entry after each launch.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Edit the desktop entry to add a launch argument (for example --no-sandbox). Then save.
  2. Launch VRCX using that desktop entry.
  3. Check the desktop entry again. You'll see the that the launch argument you added is gone.

Expected behavior
VRCX should launch without modifying the desktop entry unless there's an update that requires it. Even if in such a case, it would be nice to inform the user.

What version you are running
VRCX (Linux) 2025.12.06
