Operating System: GNOME OS Nightly

I’m unable to launch the Firo Dex AppImage here is my error -

Alrighty, so I got it to work the issue is related to Wayland and QT just have to launch it with X11 backend:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./firodex-desktop-0.8.2-beta-linux.AppImage

Apparently this is a well known issue with QT based AppImages and Wayland.

I wonder if newer QT versions fix this issue?
The version FiroDex is on is QT version 5.15.2

Also an observation about FiroDex, is that it appears Komodo servers sometimes block VPN’s and Tor, my guess is a cloudflare issue.

My connections got refused and blocked alot, had to retry multiple times.

Yeah I had this same issue too.
BTW nice assets you got going there lol

Yeah maybe firo could set up some kind of proxy for Komodo servers if that is the case cause my VPN was blocked also :disappointed_face:
