Looks like you're useing wayland. Factorio (currently) doesn't support pure wayland, you'll need to get Xwayland setup, or switch to an X based WM/DE.
Hopefully wube will support wayland soon.

What? Factorio does not support wayland? How am I playing it?

[edit] dumb me, I have Xwayland set up – but forgot that I did that
