Run size(800, 600) errors: Exception in thread

Processing Beginners
1

I’m trying to run Processing 4.3 and I’m receiving errors.
Originally, I installed Processing flawlessly. There were no issues.
I have since reinstalled my system and tried installing from the location I placed the original files, in the downloads folder and I am getting errors.
$ ./processing

I am using Arch Linux, xfce4, with the latest kernel.
openJDK17 because Arch Linux doesn’t offer Oracle.

Error message says permission was denied for your Downloads folder. Things you could try is to change permissions for Downloads or move it to another location where you do have permission.

What is amazing, the Downloads folder is the most permissive directory in Linux, pretty much everything can RWE in it, at the user level.
