Kitty fails to run due to Failed to create GLFWwindow under Debian 12 running Wayland. Kitty also fails to create config file.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

2. apt update...
3. install Sway, xWayland, and Kitty via standard apt repos
4. run sway
5. open default terminal and run kitty
6. See error:

I dont provide support for debian kitty packages. Use the official binaries and you will be fine.
