When running the latest version of Beeper on Linux using the AppImage, you might encounter an immediate crash on Wayland-based systems like Fedora 41. This commonly results in a "Missing X server or $DISPLAY" error that prevents the application from launching.

Quick Solution

To resolve this issue, use the following launch command:

electron_ozone_platform_hint=auto ./beeper-versionxxx.appimage

Important Note: This workaround is not a permanent fix. Some users might still experience compatibility issues with similar applications on Wayland.
