### Changed: GTK 4 is default when running GNOME
After an [upstream change](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/6310469), GTK 4 is now the default when running GNOME.
In rare cases, this may cause some applications or configurations to [error](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/46538) with the following message:
```stderr
Gtk-ERROR **: 11:30:38.382: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in the same process is not supported
```
Affected users can work around this by specifying the `gtk-version` command-line flag:
```shell
$ electron --gtk-version=3 # or --gtk-version=2
```
The same can be done with the [`app.commandLine.appendSwitch`](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/command-line#commandlineappendswitchswitch-value) function.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (35.0)
### Behavior Changed: Dialog API's `defaultPath` option on Linux
