Summary:
On my dual-boot laptop (Windows + Linux), the Antigravity application works normally on Windows, but on Linux it fails to open. The application does not launch and appears to crash immediately without showing any UI.

Device Setup:

  • System: Dual-boot (Windows + Linux) on the same laptop

  • Windows: Antigravity works perfectly, no crashes

  • Linux: Antigravity fails to open / crashes on launch

Issue Details:

  • Attempting to launch Antigravity on Linux results in no window appearing.

  • No visible error message is shown on screen.

  • The same hardware runs the application flawlessly under Windows, ruling out device/hardware issues.

  • Issue seems to be specific to the Linux build/environment.

Expected Behavior:
Antigravity should open normally on Linux just like it does on Windows.

Actual Behavior:
Antigravity doesn’t open on Linux and appears to crash on startup.

Request:
Please investigate the Linux compatibility or provide troubleshooting steps. Let me know if logs or system details are required — I can share them.
