Yes, I don’t know how viable it can be tho

Have you tried to create a container file and running it containerised in podman or docker?

This also happens to me, using the Smarttube flatpak, I think that it’s a “feature” from the youtube tv original app, and it bleeds into Smarttube because what it does is faking being the original youtube tv app with some extra modifications.

Edit, I am using VacuumTube from flatpak, not Smarttube, but it’s the same concept.

I’m just rewriting everything in Ansible and I think is worth the effort, it’s self-documented and as an added bonus I won’t have to keep backups of the whole VMs, just the ZFS pool with the data/databases.
