I recently installed Manjaro with KDE, and I wanted to give Atom a spin. It refuses to launch through the run dialog at all, and when launched through a terminal with the “atom” command, it flashes the app and crashes with this text:
/usr/bin/atom: line 86: 1478 Illegal instruction (core dumped) nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1
[1478:0310/022653.575301:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

The only way to start the program is through the terminal with the command “atom --no-sandbox”, which I only found out by googling. I don’t really know what solutions there are, other than to maybe add --no-sandbox to the run dialog options. Which I’d rather avoid.
