Ok, the first one was fixed by upgrading node from 20 to 22. The second issue (with bun start) still persists, though.

[iamEvanYT]

try npm run start

[powellnorma]

Same issue with npm run start.
However:

$ bun run electron-vite preview -- --no-sandbox

And with

$ bun run electron-vite preview -- --no-sandbox  --in-process-gpu

[INITIALIZATION] Fallback window show

The window actually starts, but stays completely black. :|
However, the appimage is working fine (without any additional arguments). I wonder why there is a difference.

Edit:
After rm -rf /home/user/.config/Flow/:

$ bun run electron-vite preview -- --no-sandbox  --in-process-gpu

Update:

When I build it via bun build:linux, the appimage fails too:

[iamEvanYT]

thanks for all the help in debugging linux! i really appreciate it as i don't have a linux machine to test on.

I've been working on it for two hours now. It just won't work.
