I can't start wayland-native version of 1Password.
When I try to run 1password with the well-known OzonePlatform, I get the following:
```
INFO 2023-08-07T22:51:44.006 ThreadId(14) [client:typescript] Client starting.

Two years later, we're almost halfway through 2025, Linux platforms are actively dropping X11 support, and 1password still launches as an X11 client even while other Electron applications work fine on modern desktops.
The process of launching the client remains slow and painful:
- Click or press something to launch the client
- Get the far-from-true 1Password quit unexpectedly error window yet again
- Click Report since somewhere there is a pile of reports which represents a fraction of the number of times that our time has been wasted
- Wait for almost 30 seconds on a desktop which can launch Google Chrome with multiple windows and tabs in less than two
- A client window appears
Manually updating the two slightly different `1password.desktop` files installed by 1password to
Exec=env ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto /opt/1Password/1password %U
every time the client is updated, while tedious, continues to run it as a Wayland client and the current version, 8.10.78, appears to run fine with the wobbly juddery effect when moving the window which affected some earlier versions no longer present.
