This seems to only affect versions 18.x.x of electron, I've tested version 19.0.0.alpha-1 and it worked well.

[sohobloo]

still in 18.2.0
will this be fixed in 18.x as it makes 18.x not a cross-all-platform version.

please fix this bug in 18.X electron, this is a breaking issue for using electron on older linux releases like ubuntu bionic and buster

[theofficialgman]

@zcbenz please fix this with https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3480519 or assign someone to do it. many projects are upgrading to electron 18 daily and this is a breaking change for them in terms of compatibility with debian buster, ubuntu bionic and focal, and other distros

or you can chose to fix the declaration as debian buster/bionic implemented without removing that functionality from chromium
