How to fix Mimic launch issues on Linux
Written by Yelena Varabyeva
Updated on January 16th, 2025
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:
-
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-
Create a standard user (if needed): if no standard user exists, create one. Replace
usernamewith the name you want and follow the prompts to set a password
adduser username-
Switch to the standard user: use this command to switch and replace
usernamewith the standard user’s name
su - username- Run Mimic as the standard user: launch Mimic under this user for smooth performance
