The client doesn't seem to run on latest openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux

[AlbeyAmakiir]

I am running openSUSE Linux, the Tumbleweed rolling distro. There's been a recent update which included a newer version of glibc and related core libraries. Now, many apps won't run, including the itch client.

Version: 25.5.1 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 (kernel: 5.14.6-1-default) glibc: 2.34

Here is the output:

However, if I run it with the --no-sandbox flag, it runs fine.

This sounds like the electron issue with the new glibc. While I don't personally understand how this all fits together, I understand this means any software using electron, or glibc itself, will need to be updated. It's possible I have misunderstood the cause, but either way, failing to run without --no-sandbox is a problem.

It seems like #2816 is where this issue is being more active.
