I just wish Slack could ship a decent/working flatpak for Linux. It’s currently completely broken on Debian as of latest release.

Is it the unable to login thing? It works on Gnome Fedora. You'll have to add the app handlers for slack:// or similar. Search on the Internet. PS: on Fedora 38 works on Gnome but not on KDE :shrugs:

  You can fix it by creating the file `/usr/local/bin/xdg-open` and putting this inside: #!/usr/bin/env bash if [[ "${1:-}" = slack://\* ]]; then exec /usr/lib/slack/slack --enable-crashpad "$1" fi exec /usr/bin/xdg-open "$@" Granted it's not perfect, but at least it fixes the issue on KDE

  Oddly enough I removed Gnome last night ... perhaps that is part of the problem. I am on Debian 12 with KDE/Wayland and it will launch and then just go "unresponsive" lots of bad reviews pouring in... https://tinypic.host/image/VhJMX https://tinypic.host/image/VhJMX

I've always just used Slack in the browser I already have open. What does the Slack app have in terms of functionality over that?

  Nothing really ... but as of today I am getting a banner that says my browser (Firefox) will no longer be supported on Sept 1st 2023.

    Seems to be only for an older set of versions?

In both my machines running Wayland Slack simply segfaults when sharing screen, my solution has been to use flatpak and pin to an older commit (065b3e57e9442c9fbaf851a49cbe6e7b1aa0afcab591)
