I'll dig into the code base myself, and try compiling it too instead of using the aur package.

Possibly same issue here, but it only segfaults when the window is maximized. Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME.
Might be that Hyprland, being a tiling wm, immediately maximizes the window and hence it crashes on startup? Or I'm running into a different segfault :)

Ah! Possible duplicate of #520

I also get the same behavior. Using the AUR package, when maximizing the window I get:
fish: Job 1, 'inky' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I'm on electron 1:36-1 from Arch official repos, and the referenced issue suggests the electron bug was fixed back in version 30; do we know if this is a regression in electron? Based on a quick look at their issue tracker I don't see anything related to this more recent than the original issue from 2024, so I'm wondering if the problem may lay elsewhere this time.

@MusicalArtist12 if you ended up compiling Inky yourself, did it end up fixing this issue for you?

On Arch I can confirm the issue to be fixed when compiling Inky with electron 30.0.6

My girlfriend recently upgraded to ddr5 and gave me her old sticks...

lol my old sticks are just 248mb of ddr2

For potential future readers: until this is resolved, you may consider simply going back to 0.14.1

Compiling with NPM works
