Stremio fails to start on Gnome 49 #40

Description

@AurelienDuval6

On Arch Linux, as of date 2025-10-01, this flatpak does not start on Gnome 49.

When I run this command, the server is running correctly and I am able to fully use the app via https://web.stremio.com

This means only the GUI fails to get displayed.

My system was updated as of 2025-09-30 and the previous update may have been around 2025-09 25 or 26 so the regression got introduced during this timespan on Arch Linux. I was already using Gnome 49 for 1 or 2 weeks without issues before that.

I suspect the recent removal of X11

 flatpak run com.stremio.Stremio
