Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On wayland, XWayland doesn't have good HiDPI support. By default electron will use X for rendering, thus the window is blurring on wayland

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Support electron-flags.conf, so that we can add the following to support Wayland native render:

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating how Hyper configures Electron startup flags, then determine where electron-flags.conf would be read; done means the two listed Wayland flags can be supplied through that file and native Wayland rendering works.
