3.3.1-betaJul 10, 2026

A fast patch for Linux users hitting crashes on 3.3.0. If Empryo went black, invisible, or down in flames on your machine yesterday — this one's for you.

Fixed
  • Wayland black window / render-loop crash. Chromium 144's new wp_color_manager path is broken on KWin/Plasma-family compositors (endless "Unable to set image transfer function", invisible windows). The feature is now disabled — the desktop renders correctly on Wayland again. On an affected 3.3.0 build: --disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1.
  • GPU crash-loops self-heal. Three GPU-process crashes in a run and the desktop relaunches itself with hardware acceleration off and remembers the choice — a broken driver no longer reads as "the app keeps crashing".
  • TUI crashes leave evidence. Fatal TUI/CLI errors now write a crash report to ~/.empryo/logs/crash-tui-*.txt (mirroring the desktop's ~/.config/@empryo/desktop/logs/), so "it crashed" comes with a file.
  • Clean piped output. empryo … | jq and friends no longer risk truncated output or stray terminal escapes on exit.
Notes
  • On Ubuntu 23.10+ prefer the .deb over the AppImage — Ubuntu's AppArmor blocks the AppImage's Chromium sandbox by design; the .deb installs a proper AppArmor profile. The new Linux troubleshooting docs cover all of this.
