WOW...out of sheer desperation I tried latest version (2023.40) and it WORKS !!!! Not sure if that was due to me trying different file managers in an attempt to make it work

This looks like a christmas miracle )))
In my case, 2023.40 still didn't work, even I've switched from Cinnamon with Nemo to Xfce with Thunar on Fedora 34.
So lets wait for next try... In any case, for some unknown reason I bought a 2023 license (((

I am in process of migrating to Arch from Fedora and I set up a test machine and it didn't work on Arch / Xfce / awesomeWM / Thunar. I am however using Fedora 39 / Cinnamon / AwesomeWM / Thunar on my main workstation and it all works. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with, seems like we have very similar setup.

Anyone out there using Ubuntu 22.04 and AMD gpu 7900xtx or any amd gpu? I have installed the amdgpu-install proprietary drivers from amd site due to the fact that mesa drivers have only just recently been able to implement gpu raytracing with amd cards. Blender sees the card and renders with no problems with amd proprietary drivers installed. However in 3D coat I just get black meshes in the render room. This is true for versions 20.04 and 22.04 of 3Dcoat.  @SERGYI any thoughts? Specs below. I know the graphics card is running when in the render room from radeontop output. However I just get black meshes in the render room.

I just wonder,  one of 3dc users fixed 3dc 'open file dialog'  crash - by switching to different file manager. Is there option, in 3DC, to tell it to use 'nautilus' file manager (from gnome) rather than  'dolphin' (from kde)?   I know that firefox has option - to tell it which file manager it should use.   Maybe this could fix the crashes for me (I'm on manjaro - kde - which uses Dolpin file manager)

Anyone know why 3DCoat is flickering so much? I'm on EndeavourOS fully updated, recently jumped ship from windows. Using the Ubuntu 20.04 version because the 22.04 version crashes upon opening any model. I tried reinstalling GPU drivers and it didn't fix it. The UI flickers, the model/sculpt flickers, it's almost unusable. I'm trying to see if it's my desktop environment or Wayland, but looking up the problem yielded no results. I'm disappointed because I was trying to remove all Adobe and Windows-exclusive software from my workflow in order to switch over to Linux easily, but now I understand that not all Linux ports are created equal.

Here's what the terminal says. Not seeing anything that looks relevant but maybe someone else could try:
