why wouldn't that work for linux? You just pass "--parent-profile=/path/to/folder" in the start-up command. Make an icon for each profile with a different path and you can launch them from the desktop.

I gave it a try, it is just launching the a blank instance that retains no settings.
hey ethic if you and i were both courting lily allen..... oh wait, which one of us has a relationship that lasted more than the bus ride home?

It will store the new settings in each folder. So you can configure each instance the way you want it with pinned tabs an whatnot.
