🐛 Troubleshooting

App doesn't show in menu

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

Icon not showing

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/

Window has no decorations

This is handled by your window manager (GNOME, KDE, etc.). The app requests
native decorations. If still not showing:

Check your WM settings
Try restarting the app

Package installation fails

sudo apt --fix-broken install
