From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] Brave Browser not launching in LXQT in Debian 12 (lemmy.ml)

Hi folks. I have installed Debian 12 bullseye with the lxqt desktop environment. I have run lxqt sessions on it using xfwm4, as well as i3wm, as the window manager. However, for some weird reason brave browser would not launch - neither in xfwm4 nor in i3-wm. So I tried to run the command in the shell to see what output it would produce. I have attached the image which shows the output of the command "brave-browser" in a terminal running the bash shell.

Please help to solve this problem. I love using Firefox but I also love having options and Brave happens to be one of my favourites. (In case, this is relevant, Chromium and Qutebrowser run without any issues. Only Brave is behaving in a weird manner).

EDIT: I have found the solution. One needs to add the flag --disable-features=AllowQt when running it from the command line. However, as I couldn't get hold of Brave's config file, I have just added an alias in my bashrc and made changes to brave's .dekstop file in /usr/share/applications and my i3 config file.

To the folks who posted useless comments instead of actually helping: Thanks for nothing.

I don't like to leave problems unsolved. Secondly, brave comes with default adblocker. What better FOSS chromium alternatives are there?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ungoogled Chromium, Iridium, Vivaldi.

Note I don't use any of them (I use Firefox) but I know they exist.

Vivaldi is proprietary kek; and I use brave natively on debian, works nice for me

Ungoogled Chromium, Chromium and Brave are not verified on flathub. I already have regular Chromium, so I can't install the ungoogled fork as they conflict with each other.
