Summary of the issue you are facing:

When I execute the AppImage from any 3.17.* version, I get the following error:

fuse: memory allocation failed
squashfuse 0.5.2 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

Usage: squashfuse [options] ARCHIVE MOUNTPOINT

[…]

Can’t open squashfs image: Bad address

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See FUSE · AppImage/AppImageKit Wiki · GitHub

NB

No issues with any version < 3.17.0.

Are you using AppImageLauncher? I’ve heard of issues like this with different versions of that. Check your favorite search engine and something may turn up.

Thank you @jtr , AppImageLauncher was indeed the culprit. Installed the latest beta (Release Release v3.0.0-beta-1 · TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher · GitHub) and now everything is back to normal.
