Hi , i have installed brave on EndeavourOS and it works great so far using the AUR brave-bin and the nightly version on KDE plasma , but when switching to other DE/WM like xfce and qtile it stop working it don’t start at all . -on all AUR versions-

and here what i get when i try to start it on xfce and qtile

$ brave-nightly

Linux OS user @Emilio2022 uses EndeavourOS, and maybe he can help(?):

i have actually solve it with this wrapper

#!/bin/bash
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK

# Set all necessary environment variables
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
export CHROME_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/brave-nightly/brave
export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

# Launch Brave
brave-nightly "$@"

but now there is the secone part of the problem which is brave log me out of all accounrts that i have logged in , seems like a prblem with kwallet .

./brave-wrapper.sh

i feel like they made it only to be used on KDE non other desktop environment
