[Bug]: Have Wayland work without command line arguments

[jasonhenriquez]

Guidelines

• I have encountered this bug in the latest release of FreeTube.
• I have encountered this bug in the official downloads of FreeTube.
• I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the bug report I want to file, without success.
• I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the bug I want to file, without success.
• This issue contains only one bug.

Describe the bug

1. Run Wayland with FreeTube downloaded through 7z / linux_portable
2. Encounter app crashing on load

Expected Behavior

FreeTube works without external command line argument. This can be done by running the executable from the command line as such:
./freetube --ozone-platform-hint=auto

Expected behavior is that the app can run without that argument, or programmatically includes it.

Additional Information

Functionally, dependent on a fix in a new Electron version or a temporary reversion in the Electron version. The latter is highly undesirable. That most likely makes this so out of our control that it doesn't warrant an issue. But I'm opening up this issue to try to minimize duplicates of this being posted in the future and making it easier to find this information through a GitHub search.

So reminder, the fix for your personal use is either switching to a non-7z/linux_portable (e.g., .deb, .rpm, .apk) download or running FreeTube like this:
./freetube --ozone-platform-hint=auto

Nightly Build

• I have encountered this bug in the latest nightly build.
