As the title says, any time i tap my laptop's touchscreen with ripcord underneath it, it just hangs forever until i kill the process manually.

Here's the output from xinput

Yeah, I've seen this before on a couple of people's Linux computers. I don't think there's much I can do about it without dropping support for Ubuntu 14.04 and updating the older libraries I've bundled.

You could try fixing it on your end by extracting the AppImage and using the Ripcord binary with your distro's own Qt binaries. There's a guide on the Arch wiki here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ripcord#Usingsystemlibraries which you can adapt for other distros pretty easily.

I get the same issue on Linux Mint 20.1 x86_64. Have yet to try the above potential fix.
