Describe the bug

The npm scripts package and dev fails in Artix/Arch Linux in a fresh installation of Polar.

To Reproduce

1. Run Artix/Arch Linux (via VirtualBox, Qemu, Docker, Podman, or any virtualization technology).
2. Install yarn, nodejs, git, etc.
3. Clone Polar: 'git clone https://github.com/jamaljsr/polar ~/polar'
4. Install dependencies with yarn
5. Try running yarn package or yarn dev. It fails

Expected behavior

The commands yarn package and yarn dev should run successfully in a fresh installation in Artix/Arch Linux.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Artix/Arch Linux
• Polar Version: latest master branch
• Docker Version: does not apply
• Docker Compose Version: does not apply
• Yarn version: 1.22.19
• Node version: v21.2.0

Additional context

I'm trying to set up local environment for development. I want to contribute to polar, but can't get it to run.

Yes, this happens on the latest versions of NodeJS. Unfortunately, you have to use the outdated node v16 to run it in dev mode. This is something that I really need to fix asap since v16 is now EOL.
