Is the linux tarball on the website updated to the most recent version? It runs under Arch, but just syncs endlessly. It's also a light client, where the Windows version is dark theme. I don't like using snaps, so this is preferred.

@b here. Snap version is untested - it compiles but no guarantees. I think some people got it to work downthread, you might want to check which flags they used.

Thanks for the reply. I'm talking about the tarball on https://www.getaether.net/linux_download.html

Looks like it's v1.2.3, released in 2014, so I'm guessing this client won't work? Might want to remove that link! :)

Oh wow - you got the old, old version from the prior site, v1.x. The new version is 2.0.0, it’s a completely different app. Clear your cache and go to getaeether.net again, that should give you the new site and new version.

It actually takes me to that old website when I use 'click here for other options' on Windows and my Arch machine, in incognito mode.
