ATTENTION: If you get the following message when trying to run something

pressure-vessel-wrap[2264]: E: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied

It's the AppArmor preventing umu-launcher from working properly. FIX

Download faugus-launcher-0.1.8.flatpak and run:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install faugus-launcher-0.1.8.flatpak

# Optional tools
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//23.08

ATTENTION: Gamescope is not working yet!
