Joplin Freezing on Linux Distros Running Kernel 5.5 Bug Update

I upgraded to Fedora 32 / KDE Plasma using Wayland three days ago with kernel 5.6.13-300.fc32.x86_64

Good news - the problem seems to have disappeared. Multiple new notes, changes and synchronisations and no freezes

I just noticed something, that might be interesting.

With the current Version of joplin (1.0.218) i have the problem, that the GUI freezes instantly on startup. I can’t work with joplin.
System is openSUSE Leap 15.1 with Kernel 4.12 and wayland.

If i login with a X.org.1.20.3 session, i have no problems with joplin.

Should i open a new thread?

Wayland causes issues with some apps, like freezing or refusing to start up.
Switching to X.Org mostly solves these problems, as has been explained by @bedwardly-down

What you are facing is almost certainly an Electron issue.
It's nice that you pointed it out, so now its documented in the forum :smile:
