Revert Electron to 29.3.3
Pull Request Type
Related issue
#5054, #5055
Description
Reverts Electron version to prevent issues for what seems to be a good deal of Linux users. Many distros need the argument
--ozone-platform-hint=auto
to be able to run correctly (e.g., most Linux systems running Wayland as the display system), some distros are blowing up when that argument is passed in (e.g., Ubuntu), and some installs can't have this argument applied programmatically when the default executable is run (e.g., Linux portable, Linux.7z
).The immediate course of action that the FreeTube core contributor team discussed in our Matrix channel is to revert the Electron 30 upgrade, test the next major Electron versions to see if the issue is resolved, and if no fix is made, we will upgrade to the latest Electron version and figure out a solution.
Edit 2024-05-13: changed to 29.3.3 from prior 29.3.0 and revalidated.
