Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start

SolarPunker@slrpnk.net to Linux@lemmy.ml – 40 points –

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Maybe, I do not use bazzite and cannot check. But it used to be a feature. You can, of cause, start distrobox at startup, but literally running almost two operation systems might not be the best for performance and RAM usage.

Could be a case for toolbox, which I admittedly know even less about. Either way, people here have offered several options to try!

Toolbox is effectively the same thing as distrobox. It is a linux distro inside docker-like container. They even use the same images.

Are there any processes in particular that I should keep an eye on? At the moment I don't notice any new particularly high load.

Fortunately, it does not usually cause high load, but it still exists. The only thing I can recomend here is to always check if the dependencies of any package you install in container require to run in the background and avoid those which do.
