Note

This version of Truple for Linux does not currently support blacking out banking websites. We strongly encourage the use of the image blurring feature to hide private information that may be captured.

Supported Distros

There are a lot of different linux distros out there. We've designed Truple to work with Ubuntu. Customers have reported some tweaks needed in order to use it on other distros below. We cannot verify/guarantee the tweaks will result in everything working for your device.

• Fedora - Install x11-xserver-utils by running sudo dnf install x11-xserver-utils
• Ubuntu - Some customers have reported needing to install imagemagick using the following command sudo apt install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat
• Debian - See https://trendoceans.com/how-to-enable-x11-and-disable-wayland-window-system/

Updated App requires Updated GCC libs

We recently updated the underlying electron library that the app is built on top of. This update requires updated GCC libs in order to run. Some older versions of Ubuntu (< 24.04) and other linux distros may require an update to those libraries. Customers have reported the following commands resolved this issue for them:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6
