Noteas of Septermber 10th, 2020, this package will become depreciated. This package will still install but we advise switching over to the gdlauncher-bin package which is identicaly to this one except it fetches a ZIP file instead of an AppImage. Additionally you can use the gdlauncher package for source compilation of the version or gdlauncher-git for bleeding edge latest from source code compilation.

Hey, so I am currently using this package and have found a small issue with the install on non-standard kernels. If the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 option is not set, the chrome-sandbox must be owned by root with chmod mode 4755 enabled. This probably should be set up to improve package robustness across different kernels.

I'm getting a bug with electron v18. Seems like the launcher doesn't fully launch (just a blue window). Downgraded to electron 17.2 fixed it. I tried the bin variants from aur, it didn't help either, though I'm guessing gdlauncher is looking for "electron" specifically, and not electron-bin17/18 etc?

Should yarn still be used to build this package? gdlauncher-git is using npm and the instructions on the upstream repo also suggest similarly. I believe this is the source of an error I've been getting when trying to build this repo.
