Hi all,

it seems to be a matter of fact that Chromium will not be added to the
repo.

So, I told ChatGPT to perform an online research, which RPM-based distros natively support Chromium including providing patches.

It says something like:

Fedora ✅ Yes Officially provided, can be installed via dnf install
chromium

openSUSE Leap ✅ Yes Chromium contained in official repo

openSUSE Tumbleweed ✅ Yes Mostly newest versions


Has anyone tried to get Chromium - from foreign distro - running on a MGA
10 - x64 box?

Best regards,

Markus

There is a version of Chromium available as a flatpak; https://flathub.org/pt-BR/apps/org.chromium.Chromium I think it is the
fastest and safest way to have Chromium running on Mageia.

Running mga10 Plasma here. I installed Chromium from Flathub using
Discover. It's been working great so far.

I usually avoid Flatpaks unless there's no viable alternative, as they
will use more disk space than a distro's own packages. This is because
they usually each come with their own libraries, rather than the ones
from the system, making for unnecessary duplication.

Officially recommended browser is Firefox.
This one works and seems to be updated in MGA 9 indeed, but there are
several things you can't do with it.
Performing Teams Meetings is one of them, and some online shops rely on chromium engine (chromium itself, chrome, edge). With other browsers like Firefox some of the features may not work properly.

How did you install this? - 'urpmi flatpak' as root for system wide usage,
or user-side install?

Well, even in MGA 9, where Chromium is available, I get bullied all time
when opening my online banking, because there Chromium is more than one
year old, and all recent updates not available in MGA.

Banking and other would-be /secure/ places are a drag; they seem to be
strong (as in overbearing) on the idea of security, and weak on
flexibility about how to achieve it.

'Their' way is NOT the ONLY way.

Go to https://flathub.org/pt-BR/apps/org.chromium.Chromium there it
will tell you to
install with flatpak install flathub org.chromium.Chromium Obviously
you must have
flatpak already installed on your machine.

Hi,

what I don't understand, ist that Google can provide a version of Chrome (non-OSS, not Chromium), and this one is portable between Linux-platforms.

So, why can't this be done for Chromium as well?

Best regards,

Markus
