Viber Desktop asks for e new setup on every reboot.

Hello!

I am new to Devuan, never heard for this project until recent developments, i am fedora user since ...i cant remember.
Anyways i have a new Devuan 6 installation and i am trying to replicate as much as possible my Fedora experience while using my pc.
I like it very much and most problems were solved asking AI.
The problem is with Viber Desktop application behavior. Installed AppImage and deb package latest versions. Both have the same problem:
After the first reboot account configuration is lost and Viber asks for new setup.
Any ideas on this? .ViberPC is the configuration folder that lives on the home directory.

I had the same problem . Maybe Viber wants to use systemd ?

AppImages not need systemd (so i have read). Viber AppImage not working either...

@nx22 you beat me to it, but yeah, was going to say that appimages don't require systemd.

i don't think flatpaks do either but snaps who knows.
