How to Run Vivaldi (Chromium-based browsers) That Won't Start on Artix Linux Using Flatpak
Hello, it's me, the incompetent one.
It seems there are some scattered issues with Chromium-based browsers (such as Vivaldi) not starting on GNU/Linux.
Since the same thing happened in my environment, I'll make a note of a simple solution.
Flatpak seems to be able to launch software in a system-independent sandbox.
>Provides a sandbox that allows applications and the system to run separately.
So, let's install flatpak.
sudo pacman -S flatpak
Once that's done,
flatpak install vivaldi
This alone should make it usable.
If it doesn't start or isn't added to the system, try restarting.
Other Chromium-based browsers also seem to be supported, so I think the same thing is possible.
That's all for now.
Thank you again.
