    Does this answer your question? [Can't Select Home Directory for JDK because IntelliJ can't see it?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54499133/cant-select-home-directory-for-jdk-because-intellij-cant-see-it) – Carolus Jan 08 '20 at 17:31

Download the tar.gz distribution from here. Extract it to a location on your system then CD into the bin folder and launch using ./idea.sh

    Thanks, the issue was apparently that IDEA was installed with Flatpak. Reinstalling with this fixed the issue – Nick Kress Mar 06 '19 at 04:28
