Hello there,

I am having sort of the same problem here on arch: I installed the latest
google-chrome from the AUR, and well, no matter what I do, it doesn't start.
Does it happen to you on Solus as well?
For me electron apps work without a hitch though, and vanilla Chromium
works just fine.
Best regards.
francisco.
