In Electron v40+, app.getGPUInfo() throws when hardware acceleration is disabled via app.disableHardwareAcceleration() on Linux. This wraps the call in a try-catch to gracefully handle the error by simply not adding GPU context to events. Fixes #1301 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
