Additional context
the normal pcleaner command works fine without GUI, just can't launch with GUI

Ah, yeah that was fixed in a recent PR, I may just push the pip package out first before checking if flathub and the windows exe build have issues.
Btw, be aware of the malware campaign going on on the AUR, fortunately I wasn't affected but one of the dependency packages may be. I'll check the AUR dependency packages for compromise before updating this AUR package.

[BuckwheatBidoof]

I didn't realize the dependencies would be a potential issue as well, I'll take a look thank you for the warning

You can try this tool to see if you were hit with anything https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check. The way this happened was by bot accounts adopting orphaned packages and then turning them into malware, which is something the AUR just...allows if the package has been left to rot for long enough. I don't have many dependencies from the AUR I don't think, since they tend to go out of date when they're less popular.
I've now uploaded the new version of pcleaner to pypi, 2.11.10, which has this fixed. I'd like to wait until this malware storm blows over, there are new infections popping up every day still, so I'd recommend staying away from the AUR until it's sorted out.
There is still the flatpak that I plan to update very soon, but that doesn't allow for cuda, should you want that. Or the elf I compiled with pyinstaller, it has all it's dependencies bundled, basically like an appimage. I can't figure out how to make an appimage though, I'd provide that instead of the elf if I could.
