If Mimic isn’t launching or keeps crashing on Linux, it might be because you're using the root user. Chromium-based browsers, like Mimic, aren’t built to run with root privileges, which causes these issues.

To fix this, make sure you’re launching Mimic profiles under a standard user account. This ensures everything works smoothly and avoids crashes. Simple as that! 🚀

Here’s how to switch from the root user to a standard user on Linux:

1. Check for an existing standard user: run this command to see a list of users and look for usernames that aren’t root

cat /etc/passwd

2. Create a standard user (if needed): if no standard user exists, create one. Replace username with the name you want and follow the prompts to set a password

adduser username

3. Switch to the standard user: use this command to switch and replace username with the standard user’s name

su - username

4. Run Mimic as the standard user: launch Mimic under this user for smooth performance
