You must install electron13 ahead of time, I used electron13-bin from the AUR.

That's in fact one of the Electron versions we decided to get rid of - it's EOL and doesn't receive updates anymore. Apart from that, we seem to require Python 2, which we also don't provide anymore these days. (conflicts=('python<3'))

balena-etcher now depends on electron19 and python3, so could this be looked at again?

it doesn't seem to be launching on my system

Launches on my computer. Did not test flashing any drives. Any error messages (run in terminal)?

[caniko]

May I suggest usbimager instead? It doesn't have any adds, and gets the job done.

What package are you using to provide electron? You may have to rebuild it.

I used chaotic-aur/electron19-bin.

i was using electron19 from the aur, but installing electron19-bin fixed it, thanks!

There aren't popsicle and popsicle-git already?

[dr460nf1r3]

The package has been rebuilt btw.

[xiota]

Package is not in lists. Should it be added?

[dr460nf1r3]

I don't mind, as long as no outdated Electron is used (see at the beginning :D)
