I upgraded my Fedora workstation from 41 to 42 and opera doesn't work anymore.
I get a black window with nothing in it with these messages:

The problem happens for any user on that computer.

It's the same for opera beta, and vivaldi browser. Firefox is working fine.

@fujisan43 Looks like the issue is in your repo where you download the browser, go to https://www.opera.com/download and download and install the RPM or SNAP package from there.

Exact same issue on
Ubuntu 24.12
Debian Trixie
After an OS upgrade (with Opera sources) Opera is starting - no window is visible. When launching via command line same error message:

@goolash Hello,

Try sudo apt install fontconfig fc-cache -fv

Then try to reinstall opera

Good luck!

I forgot to mention most important thing. Reinstaling and reconfiguring of
-opera
-fontconfig
-fontconfig-config did not canged a thing.
Once opened in debug mode

opera --enable-logging=stderr --v=1

I noticed some informations about missing cache file
After purging every single cash directory related to opera

rm -rf ~/.cache/opera
rm -rf ~/.config/opera/Default/Sessions
rm -rf ~/.config/opera/Default/Code\ Cache
rm -rf ~/.config/opera/Default/GPUCache
rm -rf ~/.config/opera/Default/Cache

this pice of shoit started working again.
