I recently encountered a problem launching GitHub Desktop on EndeavourOS with the error "The name is not activatable". This video details the fix. TL;DR is you need GNOME Keyring. A written version of this video as an article is available here: https://sidestreamnetwork.net/github-...

GitHub Desktop - a graphical user interface for git
Git - version control system to help track files and changes usually in a software or web development workflow
EndeavourOS - a distro (distribution) based on the Arch Linux
Arch Linux - branch of the Linux operating system which differentiates itself from Ubuntu or Debian-based Linux
