• No account required
• Works offline for signing

Security Benefits:

Installation

./install.sh

This will:

1. Install Frame from official sources
2. Create X11-mode launcher at ~/bin/frame
3. Create desktop entry with proper Electron flags

Display Compatibility

Frame is an Electron app. The install script forces X11 mode for stability:

--ozone-platform=x11  # Force X11 (Wayland has issues)

If you want to try Wayland, edit ~/bin/frame and use:

• Auto-detect: --ozone-platform-hint=auto
• Pure Wayland: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

frame                    # Launch Frame
