I had the same problem with opera 124.0.5705.42 that just came out. Was able to run it using --ozone-platform=x11 flag, but im not gonna do that every time so i reinstall the older version and it's working normally. Hope they'll fix it...

Same problem here with the stable version. Stopped working a few hours ago. Using Ubuntu 25.10 and snap.

same problem here. Definitely a broken release.

I can confirm. Snap opera-stable broke with the latest update to v124. I get the same error messages as the users above me. The snap crashed with the same wayland init error.

As of now we can't even use the .deb version because that one also broke with the update to v124. There seems to be a larger problem. I wonder how this passed the internal QA.

wget https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap
sudo snap install --dangerous AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap

@metana Yes. It gets full screened and stuck. It seems like it might be related to the razor thin handles the opera window has in linux.. maybe i'm just not grabbing the handle because it barely exists. Either way, they borked a bunch of stuff with the latest update.
