Note: On some Linux platforms, specifically with window managers like i3wm and others without support for StatusNotifier, the system tray icon will no longer appears, so if Keybase is minimized, it must be restarted to display it again, though it is running in the background. Two workarounds (in official Keybase packages) are running /opt/keybase/Keybase and with systemd, systemctl --user restart keybase.gui). We're working on a better UX around this experience.
