Won't launch on Kubuntu (0.5.3)

[LiamDawe]

UPDATE: After removing the config folders for it in both /.local/state and /.local/share the app did then launch. So some sort of config issue with the new version and using the the configs of the old version I assume.

Main bug report: The latest 0.5.3 release seems to not actually launch on Kubuntu 24.04

Here's what it showed in terminal:

Only log it gave was this: nexusmods.app.main.current.log

I'm guessing we probably made an unintended breaking change from last release. The update was meant to be breaking in any case; so it's within expectation.

Next release will be breaking too.

Consider running ./NexusMods.App uninstall-app to clean up after the App before upgrading to a new version.

I should note, after removing the config folders for it in both /.local/state and /.local/share the app did then launch. So some sort of config issue with the new version and using the the configs of the old version I assume.

The new release is expected to require a clean installation. We haven't added support for migrations yet.
