Description

Thank you for contributing to Armory!

**Description**

When I try to install the app (unpacked zip) Blender freezes, and I have to kill the process.
Running from command line doesnt reveal anything specific.

When switching to llvmpipe (CPU fallback driver) its all fine.

**To Reproduce**

I am on Arch Linux (Garuda, should be identical) and try to install the current version of Armory in the Blender, that is part of the official repos (also tried it with Blender binaries, same)

**Expected behavior**

Plugin installs

**System**
Blender: 4.3.1
Armory: 2024.12
OS: Linux
Graphics card: Vega 8

**Test File**
none

Note: It also fails to fetch the SDK path automatically

Research direction

Reproduce the installation from the unpacked Armory zip in Blender 4.3.1 on Arch Linux with the Vega 8 amdgpu driver, then compare it with the working llvmpipe configuration. Investigate the freeze and the failed automatic SDK-path fetch; done means the plugin installs without freezing and the SDK path is fetched or clearly reported.
