Don't run electron/chromium apps with --no-sandbox, that is not safe, you are exposing yourself to the internet.

Canonical decided on ubuntu 24.04 to disable unpriv namespaces in the name of security, in reality they did it to push snaps since that change breaks appimage and flatpak.

Do what linux mint ended up doing and disable the restriction.

kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns = 0' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/20-fix-namespaces.conf
sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

Or better yet just don't use ubuntu, it is just a source nightmares, the uuttils switch even broke one of my appimages...

Gearlever doesn't even do delta updates, it downloads the whole appimage with every update, and you often have to manually give it the URL to update the appimage.

It is also a total hack written in python, the dev was even shelling out arch to find the host arch instead of using the built in methods of python...

This is because flatpak apps depend on flatpak runtimes, so the app will download the entire runtime it needs when you dont have it installed already.

This is bad because a lot of flatpak runtimes like the GNOME runtime only have one year of support, so you blow a lot of storage in practice
