It's a Tauri problem, or ultimately a webkit2gtk problem. On Tauri side, they are planning to move to CEF or some other backend instead of WebKit, but this seems far out. See e.g. https://github.com/orgs/tauri-apps/discussions/8524

We definitely could do that but I wonder if this is something that should be done upstream instead of here. I imagine that this issue affects not only Arch Linux users.

Thanks for creating this. Would it make sense to patch the Exec line in the .desktop file to be Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 pawn-appetit? And/or WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1? The trouble is that WebKit and NVidia have issues (app just starts as white or black screen). I am not sure what the downsides of disabling these things is, but given the app is not very GPU-bound it might be OK to make it "work by default".

This package is based on the en-croissant-bin package as Pawn Appetit is a fork of En Croissant.
