@Arcesilas So after trying to reproduce your bug I ran into no issues. I used all the system requirements and the application launched fine. As for resolving the problem I recommend reinstalling AppFlowy again as it may possibly be that there was some type of installation issue. Please reach out with any updates. thx

I've edited the .desktop launcher file and changed:

Exec=env GDK_GL=gles /usr/bin/AppFlowy %U

Exec=/usr/bin/AppFlowy %U

And AppFlowy starts perfectly well from the launcher...
