SoundCloud Desktop for Linux

Q: The window is white or empty

Start it once with safe rendering: soundcloud-desktop --safe-render. On AppImage? Switch to Flatpak: it brings everything it needs.

Q: Which AUR package do I install?

Only soundcloud-bin: yay -S soundcloud-bin or paru -S soundcloud-bin. The soundcloud-desktop-bin package is made by someone else and updates later.

Q: How do updates work?

AppImage updates in one click in Settings. AUR: yay -Syu soundcloud-bin, Flatpak: flatpak update. For deb and rpm, download the new file and run the same command.
