I tried installing beef-xss on CachyOS (Arch-based), and whenever I try running it as root, I get a very specific error related to bundled_gems.rb:

Unofrtunately, installation gives the following error: 

Bundler::Worker#create_threads'

An error occurred while installing thin (1.6.2), and Bundler cannot continue.

In Gemfile:
  thin
error: command failed to execute correctly
