Linux Build Opens .ink Files But Play Pane Doesn't Load Properly At All (Linux Mint 21.1)

I'm having this problem on my Linux Mint 21.1 laptop, where Inky _starts_ as it should, with the play pane compiling and all, but when I try to open an _existing_ .ink file, the play pane/compilation stalls and I can't get it to work. The "Rewind a single choice" and "Restart story" buttons stop working as well.

Here's a demonstration of the issue I'm having:

I don't know if this problem persists on other Linux distributions and/or other builds for other OSes.

Please can this get looked into somehow? Cause I'm not really sure what's going wrong here. I hope I'm not missing anything (if I am, please let me know).
