If Mimic fails to start on Linux while Multilogin is running as root, switch to a standard Linux user and try the browser profile again.

➡️ Check your current user → create a standard user if needed → switch to that user → start Multilogin and launch the Mimic browser profile again.

Use this fix when the launch problem happens specifically under the root account.

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: start Mimic under this user for smooth performance
