It seems to depend on wget as well. I had a segmentation fault (so far not sure why), but this is what I've got:
Cannot upload crash dump: cannot exec /usr/bin/wget
Unexpected crash report id length
Failed to get crash dump id.
Report Id:
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) slack
After I installed and run it, I get some electron and node error, then the slack will freeze and don't have GUI window too.

Installed, and working fine, but the icon in my task switcher is the generic one. Perhaps someone knows how to fix this (I'm using LXQT, and, concomitantly, lxqt-app-switcher)?
@maverick1: Please read the pinned comment, especially the Prerequisites part of the linked wiki page.
I got an error while installing it from yay

Without a notification daemon running, Slack will freeze when trying to send a notification.
This issue shows up in other Electron apps too https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/14006.
To fix this install and launch dunst (or any other notification daemon).
Same for me - it hangs all the time, becoming non-interactive, if i wait for couple minutes - it works, but after a while - same problem. What interesting is that the same happens with mailspring app. Probably connected to electron or other library which is used in both apps.
Slack becomes non-interactive for me after a few minutes.

Any ideas how to fix this? Using 4.4.2-1.
Thank you in advance!
For anyone having issues with Slack crashing in Gnome-Shell, make sure that you don't include it in any Auto Move Windows rule. When it initiates a call it spawns a separate window which will crash the whole of Gnome-Shell.
Hi, when I close slack, and it get minimized on the tray, "clicking" on the tray doesn't bring it up at all. I have noticed this for the last 2 versions, and I seem to remember it did work. What I don't remember ever working is that the slack window is up, then there's no way to make it minimize in the tray, by "clicking" the tray. The only way to minimize it the tray was to close window through the WM close button, but that's not doing anything anymore...
Is there a way to work around any of the mentioned issues, or at least the one related to minimizing to tray? Thanks !

Please, don't ask for add
lsb-releaseas dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.And before asking for any other dependency as
