Good day,
The Trongate Electron app goes black after a few seconds when loading the AppImage. This seems to be a common issue with Wayland. I'm using Linux with Wayland, KDE and nVidia.
When I load the AppImage, it shows the Trongate icon on the taskbar. But if I click the 'Okay' button, it switched to the X.org Foundation icon when rending the main menu. Regardless of clicking or not the window will go black after around 2 seconds.
It might be related to an old Wayland issue that has some electron apps going black when compositing.

However, I don't know how to pass an argument like through the AppImage, and I cannot set that in my config files because AppImage is self-contained and doesn't use the local app config files.
I don't actually know that this is the issue. If anyone else has any thought, let me know.

"I'm using Linux Awkward and it doesn't work."
Forgive me, my friend, but that's what I'm reading and you'll appreciate that I can't provide technical support for esoteric versions of Linux. In the very near future, I'll be posting a YouTube tutorial on how to run the desktop app as a NodeJS app.
That's the best I can do.

Hey Dave,
I'm sorry, but there may be a misunderstanding. Literally all distributions of Linux will be using the Wayland protocol very soon. I think most are defaulting to it already, and some are removing support for the dated X.org graphics server in upcoming releases.
I'm using Fedora Linux, which is basically Red Hat. Not some obscure version of Linux. This seems to be a common problem with Electron apps. Though it's possible, it only affects some people. (I.e., people running KDE on Linux or people using nVidia on Linux.)
I'm not a fan of NPM but I look forward to seeing what you have got in store.

Okay cool. I have Linux Peppermint on a laptop. I'll try it with that and report back.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what causes the issue. It might be Wayland + nVidia, or Wayland+nVidia+KDE. And I'm sure this will be fixed eventually. And what I saw included people with nVidia, but it might just by Wayland+Electron apps. Shrug.
But I figured it would be unlikely to get a fix with the app.
I'd never heard of Linux Peppermint and I'm not sure if you are pulling my leg on using that or not, and also don't know if that one or your particular install defaults to Wayland. I wasn't able to look that up.
Anyway, be well.

It's one of the fastest operating systems that I could find. No joke. Here's the URL:
