Arch Linux User Repository

I was able to fix the issue with windows decorations by rebuilding the package using mac version instead of windows. I also fixed the tray icon and some other errors, made some checks to avoid duplicated windows, and Notion seems to work a lot smoother now.

Here is the repo with the modifications I made: https://github.com/mateushonorato/notion-app-electron-aur

The icon being used as the tray and app icon comes from Papirus Icon Pack. @AsukaMinato feel free to merge any of those modifications in this package or to ask me anything about how I made them.

If using fcitx5 and sometimes when you type faster, some letters will go directly into the text box and will not appear in the candidate area of the input method.

In ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini write gtk-im-module=fcitx

get the newest version

curl --silent https://desktop-release.notion-static.com/latest.yml | head --lines=1 | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=2

NOTES

• This application has a tray icon. To quit the application completely, press Ctrl+Q.
• To access the application menu, hold Alt for a moment instead of pressing Alt.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Stub Wayland icon is shown in some places when Ozone platform is Wayland

The new version still freeze (after running in background for some time).

And I prefer the original app icon...

please update to latest version and see if those errors are fixed. if not, try cleaning your Notion config folder. Fully quit the notion app, and then run the following:

rm ~/.config/Notion -rf

Note that you will have to login again after running this.

I ran into some interesting behaviour today where Notion was seemingly pinned at 65% CPU utilisation. Not really sure, but something is up.

I am running into same issue like @hasmar04. The app keeps freezing after a few minutes of opening and I can only use it again after running killall electron. There are a few electron apps and I can't even identify which one is notion.

This started happening since last upgrade of notion-app-electron. I am on archlinux KDE Plasma with wayland (if that matters)

Getting a bunch of different errors, but all lead to the program window fully freezing and requiring a program restart to get it working again. These are segments of the full output which won't fit here. Manjaro Linux 24.0.7

First of all: Thanks for your great work of bringing notion smoothly to Linux! I just wanted to ask, wether it is possible to add autostart and "minimized start" (starting notion adds tray icon but window isn't opened) to tray menu. At the moment I have copied the .desktop file to my autostart folder as a workaround, but it always opens the big window

Anyone that managed to get Deeplink working?, the metadata is set correctly, so xdg-open <notion-url> registers the app, but unfortunately the specified URL is not opened in Notion, my guess is it's some missing integration in the underlying code, but was curious if anyone managed to get it working? :)

yep got the same issue with windows decoration as others tell, i think its caused by new Notion window decoration in MS Windows cause they got new update recently
