Please [edit] your question to include the entire [stack trace](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3988788/what-is-a-stack-trace-and-how-can-i-use-it-to-debug-my-application-errors). — Slaw, Jun 18 '19 at 05:41
In your code above you wrote `fx:controller="user.ui.main.StrixController"` while the file listing there is no `user` package, just `strix`... — Usagi Miyamoto, Jun 18 '19 at 06:29
The last `Caused by` in the stack trace is usually the real cause of the problem and according to your post, the relevant error message is `Caused by: javafx.fxml.LoadException: Error resolving onAction='#handleAboutAction', either the event handler is not in the Namespace or there is an error in the script.` And the next line in the stack trace tells you which file and which line in that file, i.e. `file:/home/blackleitus/NetBeansProjects/JavaFXApplication11/dist/run981614013/JavaFXApplication11.jar!/javafxapplication11/ui/main/FXMLDocument.fxml:26` Looks like you are using Java 11. — Abra, Jun 18 '19 at 06:34
As mentioned by Abra, the ultimate cause of the error is: "_Error resolving onAction='#handleAboutAction', either the event handler is not in the Namespace or there is an error in the script_". Please show the relevant controller class—either the `handleAboutAction` method is missing or you made a mistake configuring it. — Slaw, Jun 18 '19 at 06:44

Looks like your problem is not in the path

Caused by: javafx.fxml.LoadException: Error resolving onAction='#handleAboutAction', either 
the event handler is not in the Namespace or there is an error in the script.
file:/home/blackleitus/NetBeansProjects/JavaFXApplication11/dist/run981614013/JavaFXApplication11.jar!/javafxapplication11/ui/main/FXMLDocument.fxml:26

the problem is that the loader is not finding the method handleAboutAction in the controller try checking the method name spelling in the fxml and in the controller

I Hope this works (tell me if not)

Your are missing the Event Function

   @FXML
    void handleAboutAction(ActionEvent event) {

    }
