Description
Hello,
trying to start keybase-gui on Swaywm. Here's what appears in my journal:

Research direction
Start with the keybase-gui systemd service and the journal output showing Electron failing with cannot open display: :0 under Sway. Trace how the GUI is launched in this Wayland session and compare the required display environment; done means keybase-gui starts successfully without the display error.
