### Describe the bug
On running freetube, it crashes and provides the following error messages:
```
85430:0429/101438.470787:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:202] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)
[85430:0429/101438.470861:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/ozone_platform_wayland.cc:281] Failed to initialize Wayland platform
[85430:0429/101438.470897:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:246] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
[1] 85430 segmentation fault (core dumped) freetube
```
I'm using Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, as installed yesterday. 24.04 LTS worked fine. I get an identical problem in signal, it may be an electron issue. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/7832
I'm using metacity + gnome flashback, not Wayland
