Help us test IPFS Desktop v0.15.0-rc1 :-)

[lidel]

In the past Electron shipped breaking changes on various platforms, and we had to update it recently, so let's do additonal smoke-tests to ensure there is no blocker on any platform.

How to help?

RC1 package for your platform can be fetched from:
https://bafybeic36zxgauv6xviy2tc7gumejdixvs7bt4gpskk2phkkjozo55qhey.ipfs.dweb.link/ipfs-desktop-v0.15.0-rc1

Manual test steps are at: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/blob/main/DEVELOPER-NOTES.md#manual-testing

Comment with the version you used and if it worked OK, or were there any issues.
We will apply feedback to the matrix below and make a decision if RC1 is good enough, or needs more work.

(@lidel will be back on Tuesday)

A quick test on Windows 10 seems to be working fine for reading IPFS content.
