bug: Crash on startup with NVIDIA GPU on X11: `Failed to create GBM buffer`

[pedrohx26]

Summary

OpenWork crashes immediately on startup on systems with an NVIDIA GPU under X11. The crash is caused by WebKitGTK's hardware compositing, which fails to create a GBM buffer. The Tauri app does not set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 by default.

To Reproduce

1. System with NVIDIA GPU + proprietary driver + X11 (not Wayland)
2. Launch OpenWork
3. Immediate crash with error:

   Failed to create GBM buffer of size 2297x1368: Invalid argument
   

Expected behavior

OpenWork should either:

• Detect NVIDIA + X11 and disable compositing automatically
• Set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 as a safe default for Linux builds
• Gracefully fall back to software rendering instead of crashing

Actual behavior

The application crashes immediately with a GBM buffer allocation error. No fallback rendering is attempted.

OW version & Desktop info

• OpenWork: 0.11.194-1 (AUR)
• OS: Arch Linux x86_64
• GPU: NVIDIA (proprietary driver)
• Display server: X11 / KDE KWin

Additional context

Workaround:

export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
openwork

This is a known issue with WebKitGTK + NVIDIA + X11 that affects many Tauri/WebKitGTK apps. Setting the env var has no negative side effects — it simply uses software compositing.

would be happy to have a PR for this if it can fit into the build pipeline correctly
