Slack’s biggest redesign ever tries to tame the chaos of your workday

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
