Solus and Chromium breaking

[Linux for blind general discussion]

So....turns out I forgot to set up environment variables.

Now wondering if the flags.conf stuff works on Solus, hm...

So, here's what I did.


In .profile


export ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1


Save the file, log out/back in, problem solved once the flags are set on 
the command line or dekstop file
