sorry, i think my post might be a little misleading everything is fine with the AppImage and the Detached signature (downloaded from krita.org) always has been as far as i know, i only verified the AppImage for 'fun'. The only hiccup i had was that the webpage was unclear on where to find the PGP Public key, that you use to verify the signature. of course doing this is not necessary since i downloaded the AppImage from the official webpage over a secure connection.
Awesome thanks, your right, can't believe i missed that, i guess details do matter
i couldn't find the md5sum s for the current version, i saw they do provide some for older versions https://download.kde.org/Attic/krita/5.2.0/, but they do have GPG Signatures .sig files at https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.9/ for the current version
