Description
on linux (debian trixie) the AppImage is laggy af.
its better now with doing wayland
./GitHub-Copilot.AppImage --ozone-platform=wayland
but switching to home takes like 5s sometimes, opening an existing chat takes like 5s
needs to be way smoother to be used over the CLI

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the lag on Debian 13 with GitHub-Copilot.AppImage, comparing the default launch with ./GitHub-Copilot.AppImage --ozone-platform=wayland. Measure switching to Home and opening an existing chat; done means those actions no longer take several seconds and remain responsive.
