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

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?

From https://slack.com/help/articles/1500001836081-Slack-support-...:

> Browser support lifecycle schedule > Browser version End of support > Chrome 105 and below Sept. 1, 2023 > Firefox 104 and below* Sept. 1, 2023

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)
