electron_use_remote_checksums Syntax Error

Hello, I'm using WSL2 to test the project, when I run npm i inside electron-quick-start I get the following error:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /home/z4rathustr4/electron-adblock/electron-quick-start/node_modules/electron

Taking a quick peek at the logs, I've found this:

Any help is very much appreciated, if I'm doing something wrong I guess I'll find out 😄

We're using the nullish coalescing operator which requires Node 14: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Nullish_coalescing

What version of Node are you using?
