GitHub Desktop very slow to commit after re-install

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Before my reinstall, a commit would be immediately, just like on my commandline. After the reinstall, it takes over a minute to commit a simple README.md change.

Version & OS

Version 2.5.4-linux1.

I tried the latest version as well, to find the same behavior.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Change any file
Commit

Expected behavior

Near-immediate commit

Actual behavior

Commit takes over a minute

Dear @kvz , unfortunately, there is no official support for linux - for now.

I think, this question arises on a monthly basis, haha. See these issues for example #1525, #11273, #10799, #9841, #9820.

All the best

@kvz , yeah, but you can easily use this repository, jump to the releases ( https://github.com/desktop/desktop/releases ) and download the latest version here manually…

I do this “from time to time” (i.e., whenever i think of it, haha) and it works perfectly for me 😉

All the best
