Hello, same problem here after the last update from snap v. 124.0.5705.42 (stable version).
Trying to launch from terminal:

usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
[16571:16571:1126/203407.739781:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:197] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)
[16571:16571:1126/203407.739864:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/ozone_platform_wayland.cc:282] Failed to initialize Wayland platform
[16571:16571:1126/203407.740030:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:257] The platform failed to initialize.  Exiting.

So, i can't use opera anymore... u.u

It seems that its working on Xserver just fine. I ended up installing opera from the deb file downloaded from the site to use it with Wayland. The snap is not working on Wayland

@Malfet

use this:

sudo snap revert opera

this reverts to the last version and it works fine

Thanks, ran 'sudo snap revert opera' and am now running Opera One(version: 123.0.5669.47) again that runs fine.

@UltraVio1et Thanks, I wish I knew this earlier! I already tried to re-install it, also using deb and flatpak, there is nothing to revert to anymore.

@alexbcrow7 Also deb is not working for me. It gives installation errors. It seems to be ridiculous that a browser can not even be installed.

So I could download and install snap from 410 version. It's not ideal, but might work as a temporal solution

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

Ok, they managed to fix snap, however there are lots of other issues appearing now. Bitwarden extension stop working, the settings for speed dial are gone. I do not know what the hell is going on with Opera team :(((

@alexbcrow7 I did try the .deb. It installed, but kept bombing out for various reasons - such as trying to hide the side-bar, etc.
