retroarch not importing games on linux (lemmy.ml)

Using Ubuntu 22.04, installed retroarch and trying to import games.

Files are in zip format (also tried unzipped) and for whatever reason, retroarch refuses to import them.

I can manually select and play games but no systems show up.

Anybody ever experience something like this on Linux?

I've tried flatpak, appimg, regular install. Same results every time.

I use no-into sets.

Edit: just as a side note, I can import the same games on a Windows machine just fine.
