Electron is throwing gpu errors under some circumstances e.g. running in a docker container as mentioned here and there were already some threads in the forum about this.

To disable these errors you can add app.disableHardwareAcceleration() in electron.js or --disable-gpu in package.json.

Both variants are ugly because for automating this you can only use sed or similar tools.

So I would like to add an environment variable ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU and add app.disableHardwareAcceleration() in electron.js only when set.

More info's to disableHardwareAcceleration:

May it is also an option to run always with app.disableHardwareAcceleration()?
