Say I have a frame handler and it needs to authenticate which I have a suspending function for. Would it better to use the authenticate function from a launch or from a runblocking?

Well that depends on your handler.
Does it work synchronously or asynchronously?

The former would needs runBlocking the latter launch.

[Luis Munoz]

handler is async, can you please explain more why use launch if it is asynchronous?

[octylFractal]

runBlocking will block until all coroutines started inside complete

[Marc Knaup]

launch will run the coroutine and run it asynchronously. handle in the meantime will return from launch immediately,
