[SOLVED] Freetube slow on startup within wayland

I've been experiencing slow startups since freetube 0.23 (3-4 sec) which has been reproduced by other wayland users. I opened a ticket on github but the dev linked the issue to electron interactions with wayland. Do you see something I could report to electron or set myself within electron options?

ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland

$ freetube --enable-logging

Solved by using freetube-electron-bin.
