I performed a fresh install of Linux Mint 22 (Wilma) on a machine previously running Linux Min 21.3. Brave had been installed and was working on the old version, but after performing the clean install following the directions on the brave website results in an unusable build.

There are a bunch of processes running:

```

However nothing ever comes up in the display manager. I tried launching via console as well, but upon researching the output it didn’t seem helpful.
