Additional Tips for a Smooth Setup
If you prefer not installing desktop software, Trezor.io/start also allows you to use the Trezor Suite web app at suite.trezor.io/web which offers most features in a secure browser environment.
For Linux users or advanced users who want portable solutions, Trezor Suite is available as an AppImage, and you may need to set executable permissions.
