AFAIK, there is no portable option available on Linux.
Since there is no log file, which hardware and graphics card are you using Focal Fossa.
I take it you used our own PPA to install Kodi?

portable mode doesn't work with packaged kodi, but you can set the location of the user data directory like so:
KODI_DATA=/some/dir/for/kodi/userdata kodi

you set the env var before starting a command, why did you turn it around?

I thought i can do something similar to what firefox can do when using multiple profiles and starting them with the command "firefox -profile /path_to_profile". But i guess i can't do that with kodi.

it means that hardware video decoding via vaapi is likely to work fine. As long as va_openDriver() returns 0, that's nothing to worry about

Good to know.
I have a question about using environment commands. Can i use environment command like this with other programs, to change the location for their user data folder, or this is just specific for kodi? I started using linux recently so i am still new to this stuff.
