@AGCaesar This can be fixed by patching the package.json with the system electron version in the PKGBUILD like the official Electron packages in the repos do: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/signal-desktop#n42. The current situation is caused by the bundle being built with the Electron version provided by Ferdi (e.g. 7.1.6) and then being executed with the system Electron version (e.g. 8.0.0). When built with the correct system version, everything should work, provided that there aren't any API incompatibilities between the two versions. Some more information available here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Electron_package_guidelines

@dpeukert tanks for adopting the packages. I really do not understand this electron packaging and it gave me headaches...

@AGCaesar No worries, electron packaging is a bit of a mess. I've gone through the packages so everything should be working now.
