Further testing revealed the error message GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed, which only shows on river wm when launched from the terminal and seems to be inked to this issue in electron

As you are all using NixOS and can't replicate the issue with the official downloads, please report the issue to the people packaging the NixOS package, as it's unofficial/not maintained by us.

Yep, created the issue way too late at night and didn't see the "unofficial downloads" section begin. Sorry.

freetube: use electron_27 instead of electron_22
54cbb5e 
Upstream freetube-19.1 uses electron-27, so match that.

This fixes the issue that electron_22 is marked as insecure and results
in eval error by default. And with e.g. the default electron in the
stable branch (electron_26) we hit
FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#3953 ("App turns entirely
white a few moments after startup on wayland-WM-only-setups").

This patch is only for the stable branch, as unstable has electron_27 as
default and unpinned electron in freetube.
