Hello,
before, I used Opera version 124.0.5705.65 without any issues.
Then, I updated to version 125.0.5729.12 using apt.
Now, Opera starts to launch, but fails.
I've removed folder ~/.config/opera, which gets re-created upon the next try. But launching Opera fails again.Since Opera doesn't start, I cannot upload a report including the crash info, but here's the log I'm getting:

Thanks for your help.

Known bug especially on Arch based systems and KDE. There is a workaround but it requires to run Opera on X11 instead of Wayland.

@geekk Hmm, then maybe you are hit by a different bug. This works on my CachyOS KDE on Wayland
mkdir -p /tmp/opera-clean env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=GNOME XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 \ opera-stable --ozone-platform=x11 --user-data-dir=/tmp/opera-clean --no-first-run --disable-gpu about:blank -

For what it's worth, extracting the latest deb to a folder and running works on Fedora KDE Plasma Wayland.
