Hey, sorry about that! Some AUR packages share cursor in a way that isn't forward+backwards compatible across releases. We recommend using our official AppImage from https://cursor.com/download Alternatively, please use a different AUR package that doesn't have these issues https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cursor-nightly-bin


I am using it on fedora from the yum repo and it's crashing for me too.

  $ rpm -q cursor
  cursor-3.0.4-1775123877.el8.x86_64
https://forum.cursor.com/t/sigsegv-in-zygote-type-zygote-on-...

Apparently if launched with --verbose it works, but that's the same crash I was seeing without the verbose flag


I prefer to avoid AppImages if I can but I gave it a try anyway and it still fails with exactly the same error. What made you think it's just a packaging issue?
