[BUG] Linux AppImage fails to launch on Wayland (Requires LD_PRELOAD workaround) #19

Hi,

I am trying to run the Linux AppImage for Onyx (v0.14.6 and v0.16.3) on a Wayland desktop, but it fails to correctly start.

After some troubleshooting, I found that the only way to get the application to successfully open and render the screen is by running this exact command in the terminal:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so ./Onyx_0.14.6_amd64.AppImage
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libwayland-client.so                                                                                                                                                  
/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so is owned by wayland 1.24.0-1

It seems the AppImage requires LD_PRELOAD pointing to my system's Wayland client library, otherwise the app opens to a completely blank/white screen.
