Oof, not good. Okay first off, do you have 32-bit or 64-bit? The version I built is only for 64-bit. Just want to get that out of the way since it's the simplest solution.
If you are running 64-bit then I will have to try to figure out what's wrong since I thiink I tested it in like 14.04 or 16.04 but it definitely wasn't 17.10. I'll see what I can do!
This is 64 bit, and I'm using X, not wayland or mir. I thought maybe the error message would shed some light on the issue, esp the part about XInitThreads not being called, but if you use a framework that is not completely under your control, that might not help... but if you need anything else, like for me to run a debug build or something, just ask.
Yeah the thing causing the error message is Electron, however it's probable that the crash is due to my own misconfiguration. There's some stuff I needed to play with when hardware acceleration is/isn't involved that's sort of nebulous. It seems fairly reliable on Windows but I might just scrap that stuff entirely on Linux and just let people disable GPU manually via a command line option if they need to.
