In my case it's a wayland problem (Xwayland work), just you must update electron to fix a bug in electron regarding starting with ozone=wayland.
Signal had the same problem, so updating electron in their end have fixed it.
Also cant use freetube on wayland Fedora Flatpak. Just get a black screen. With latest version. Disabling wayland in Flatseal doesn't help.
Same problem for me on Fedora 36 using Wayland on a gtx 1060. Black screen on launch. Xorg is working fine.
Working on latest nightly build.
https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/2448 updated electron and now freetube --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
launches freetube under wayland without issue.
