@umbraweb sorry to hear you're having trouble. In the future I'd recommend opening issues related to the Linux fork of GitHub Desktop in the shiftkey/desktop repository as the community there will have the most context around common issues with the Linux fork.

The problem you're encountering may be due to the Third party application access policy not permitting the use of the Desktop fork for Linux. See shiftkey#972 and shiftkey#217.

I'm going to close this issue but you can reference those issues or other authentication issues in the issue tracker over in the fork.
