Description
On Linux, clicking "Show in File Explorer" in the Keybase GUI Files section displays a macOS-specific dialog asking to "Open your macOS Security & Privacy Settings" instead of opening the native file manager.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Keybase GUI on Linux
- Navigate to Files section
- Click "Yes, enable" on the "Enable Keybase in File Explorer?" prompt
- Or click on "Show in File Explorer" icon next to any folder
Expected Behavior
The native Linux file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin, etc.) should open at the selected KBFS path.
Actual Behavior
A dialog appears with macOS-specific instructions:
- Title: "You need to change your system security preferences."
- Text: "Open your macOS Security & Privacy Settings and follow these steps."
- Shows macOS Security preferences UI
- Has link "Open Security & Privacy Settings"
This is clearly platform-inappropriate for Linux systems.
Environment
- OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (Ubuntu-based)
- Kernel: 6.17.x
- Keybase Version: 6.5.1
- Desktop Environment: GNOME
- File Manager: Nautilus
Workaround
nautilus /keybase
# or
xdg-open /keybase/private/username
Related Issues
This appears to be a regression where the Linux code path now incorrectly falls through to macOS-specific UI.
