Presenter 2026 Linux?

Linux build for Presenter 2026 is now available! https://download.worshiptools.com/download/beta/linux

Whaooo! Thanks :-)

Thank you!

Thank you for continuing to support Linux! With Windows not allowing old computers to be upgraded to Windows 11, it means we can still keep using your wonderful software without having to replace our system!

Has anybody tried using it on Linux yet? I tried on Ubuntu 26.04 with gear leaver, and kept getting the Wayland "Share Screen" dialog popping up. The only fix I found was to force it to use XWayland. I did it with this terminal command:

env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY presenter.appimage --no-sandbox

I'm using XLibre and not seeing that issue. Maybe install X11 or XLibre and login with that session type instead? I've been using XLibre lately and it seems more stable than Wayland to me.

I tried it on Mint Cinnamon 21.3 and it wouldn't run on my home computer. Adam sent me some commands to install some items missing missing in the package:
"The JavaScript error you shared points to a missing GLIBCXX version in your system’s C++ standard library, which Presenter’s Linux build is expecting. Try installing it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade libstdc++6

That fixed some of the errors but I'm still getting other issues. I will be trying the Presenter Linux version on another computer at church today (also running Mint).

Is there a particular reason why the Linux version is not listed in the downloads for the beta version on the front page? It's a little frustrating that I have to use this obscure link for the Linux version. Even if it's not as stable as the versions for the other OSes, can we have some indicator on the front page/download page? Even if it has a separate disclaimer of instability, that is fine with me personally. I just want to be able to point my people to that front page link instead of some obscure forum post.

Thanks, dev team, for supporting Linux! I am grateful that you have decided to support the OS of Freedom™️
If possible, it would be great if in future this was packaged as a flatpak as an option for linux!

I've gotten Presenter to run with the same --no-sandbox addition I used for the previous version, however, I can't get it signed in. Clicking login spawns a login tab in the browser, but it doesn't seem to make it back to Presenter from the browser.

How can we get the Presenter Beta signed in?
