Lagrange 1.4 (Flatpak, Debian Testing, XFCE, default Fireforx) gets stuck while try to open a HTTP/HTTPS link, are you experiencing the same?

Glad to hear you like it! ๐Ÿ™‚ Properly supporting Flatpak would be much easier for, say, a GTK app. Since I've chosen to forge my own path, so to speak, it's going to require more work to get everything working in the sandbox. These adaptations will be generally useful for improved FreeDesktop compatibility, but in practice there are many other things on the todo list that take priority. ยท 2 years ago

@skyjake Thank you very much! I was thinking the same, anyway I love Lagrange! Thank you very much for this great Gemini Client! ยท 2 years ago

Did some testing. For me it seems the Flatpak sandbox is blocking the opening of the default browser (via an `xdg-open` subprocess), but it doesn't get stuck. Looks like this is another case where Flatpak will need a special workaround (the other being the IPC mechanism that is also broken under Flatpak). I'll have to see if it's possible to get an exception that allows executing `xdg-open`.

In the meantime, I recommend using the AppImage if that works for you. It doesn't have sandbox restrictions so both IPC and `xdg-open` should work just fine. ยท 2 years ago
