Linux: 'Show in File Explorer' displays macOS Security dialog instead of opening file manager #28652
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
