Installation guide recommends Etcher, but Etcher only shows a white screen on elementary OS #3135

What Happened?

Balena Etcher shows only a white screen.

Screenshot from 2022-12-05 20-01-49

This happened on both eOS 5.x and on a fresh install of 6.1 now that I have it installed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Follow the instructions on the Installation page and Download Etcher from balena.io/etcher.
  2. Give the .appimage execute permissions and launch it.

Expected Behavior

I expected that I would be able to write the disk image using Etcher as in the instructions on the web page.

OS Version

6.x (Odin)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
