Using Arch, 6.8.2-arch2-1 Linux kernel, KDE Plasma 6.0.3 on Wayland.

Since you've added that it's Arch Linux, C# "Launcher /home/user/Downloads/resources/csharp/Repeat.exe is not executable" is actually intended behavior, right? Were you able to access the web UI page (localhost:65401) and do some record/replay?

The bug here I guess is that for some reasons it thinks that it's running in Windows. It should have detected that it's Linux and not run the C# client

Repeat/src/core/ipc/repeatClient/CSharpIPCClientService.java

Line 29 in 6e91d22

if (OSIdentifier.IS_WINDOWS) {

I think this logic here can be improved, but I'm not sure on the top of my head how to detect Arch Linux.

You also mentioned that you're using Wayland. This shouldn't work on Wayland as mentioned here. I wasn't able to figure out how to listen to key strokes and mouse events globally in Wayland without having root access (basically listening to /proc/bus/input/devices).
