Description
Hi! Very excited to see Amazon Q finally being released on Linux! Unfortunately, for me it is not working. Always shows only black screen, no matter what I do.
### Expected behaviour
- Desktop application opens and shows stuff
- Terminal integration shows a pop up when typing
### Actual behaviour
- Opening desktop application shows only black window.
- In the terminal pop up does not show up

### Steps to reproduce
- Downloaded app
- Installed according to the [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/command-line-installing.html#command-line-installing-ubuntu)
- Opened the app
- See black screen
### Things I tried
- Restarting the application
- Installing from AppImage and .deb
- Running from CLI and running from desktop icon
- On the first run had an error in terminal about missing `/home/USER/.midway` directory. But solved it by manually creating it.
- Completing setup on the command line with `q doctor` (now it says ✔ Everything looks good!)
- Running `q debug autocomplete-window`. Afterwards, a pop up in the terminal finally appears, but is also all black. See screenshot.
- Without running `q debug autocomplete-window` after app restart, even this black pop up does not appear.
- Restarting the application multiple times again
But nothing helps, desktop app still shows only black screen. No errors in the terminal.
Menu bar app appears, shows menu, but clicking anything opens the same desktop app with black window.
