If the window is blank on some Arch Linux / Wayland environments
On Wayland, the window may appear blank because of WebKitGTK / EGL compatibility issues. In that case, preload libwayland-client.so when starting HardwareVisualizer.
If you placed it in ~/.local/bin:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so ~/.local/bin/hardware-visualizer
If you run the AppImage directly:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so ./HardwareVisualizer_*.AppImage
