Description

### Steps to reproduce

Open Element Desktop >= 1.11.92 on Linux arm64. v1.11.91 is fine.

Note: I'm on Debian Testing, but I think this may affect all arm64 distros because there were reports of other electron apps breaking on arm64 over the last few weeks (e.g. on the Fedora Asahi Remix), and v1.11.92 included an electron-builder major version update. My best guess would be that electron is causing this.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

Element Desktop to work.

#### What happened instead?

Element Desktop opens normally, works for a few seconds, then blanks out and never recovers. If you restart it it opens normally again, then blanks out again.

### Operating system

Linux arm64 (Debian Testing)

### Application version

> = 1.11.92, up to and including current (1.11.94)

### How did you install the app?

packages.element.io Debian repository, default suite

### Homeserver

Any

### Will you send logs?
