I can reproduce this on the live image of Garuda KDE. Garuda is Arch based distro. The AppImage using some of the distro shared libraries + the libraries from the image(to save spase). Solved by installing gcc: sudo pacman -S gcc Just for the protocol also installed chromium and updated glibc, shouldn't be needed to add it.

The GTK errors are probably not responsible for the white screen. Also achieved to run it with software acceleration

I installed gcc but Firefly still shows the same white screen with same erorrs

I suspect the issue may come from my old CPU. I tested the same distros on a more modern PC and Firefly works fine. This is my sysinfo: Operating System: Garuda Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.12.6-zen1-1-zen OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD TAHITI

[hristo-mavrodiev]

You can try to add microcode package. - sudo pacman -S amd-ucode and generate CPU information reportlscpu. There are Electron issues when using linux kernel 5.x.x . If you have any distro with linux kernel 4.x.x could help to verify that it's not cause by this.

[AimakRokalno]

I will try an old live distro with kernel 4

I could not install the micro-code package, but lscpu gives the following info?

This is a report from AMD machine that is running firefly correctly. Hope this will help the developers.

Could be because of missing flags like ssse3,sse4_1,sse4_2, avx support of your CPU.

On the same computer, as it did not work on linux, I had to virtualize Windows 10 (VirtualBox) to be able to carry out the migration. I think the problem is not hardware but software.
