keybase
keybase not supported for Ubuntu 24.05
When upgrading to Ubuntu 24.05, the installer decided keybase was no longer neede!?
After the upgrade, the deb file delivered from keybase.io is not supported.
The snap requires snap set system experimental.user-daemon=true, which requires more work. How do we do this?
The Nix package install, but I get permission errors when running kbfs.

No apt package "keybase", but there is a snap with that name. Try "snap install keybase"

I have no idea about the .deb and nix packages but the snap package can be installed using the commands below:
snap set system experimental.user-daemons=true
sudo snap install keybase
You can't seriously expect people to change their system-wide security settings just to install this?? Makes me wonder if the application itself is secure and trustworthy.
