Notes

• Tarball verification will not implemented due my distaste of anything PGP-related, and the fact that every native PGP implementation sucks. I am not liable for any damages caused if the Helium authors bungle something up, or are bungled. I want age to be the standard, but that world doesn’t exist.
• Updating is manual. You can create a simple script and user daemon to notify you of new updates using this, but I’m not doing that for you.
• This flag is hardcoded into the included helium.desktop file: --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks
