Research direction
Investigate why the image 'off big.png' is not found at the expected path '/opt/IPFS Desktop/resources/app.asar/assets/icons/tray/off big.png' on Linux (AUR). Check how the path is constructed in tray.js (line 341) and whether the asset is included in the asar bundle. Consider if the issue is related to the AUR build process or if a fallback or dynamic path resolution is needed. Look at the discussion in the issue comments for any proposed solutions or workarounds.
