Description

@Nyeksenn

Expected Behavior

App should launch

Current Behavior

App crashes with
Gtk-ERROR **: 09:52:25.113: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in t he same process is not supported.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open app on Linux with Gnome

Possible Solution

This is a known problem and documented in the upstream change notes:
https://www.electronjs.org/de/blog/electron-36-0#behavior-changed-gtk-4-is-the-default-when-running-on-gnome
There is a workaround which should probably be implemented at the app level so users don't have to fix it themselves:
