What happened?

I am symlinking the executable like this (on Debian):

ln -s /home/user/.local/lib/ventoy/VentoyGUI.x86_64 /home/user/.local/bin/ventoy

(Yes, /home/user/.local/bin is on my PATH)

So my symlink looks like this:

/home/user/.local/bin/ventoy -> /home/user/.local/lib/ventoy/VentoyGUI.x86_64

When I launch/execute the symlink, nothing happens, only getting exit code 1.

App works if I launch it directly with /home/user/.local/lib/ventoy/VentoyGUI.x86_64 but why in the world the symlink would not work?
