Vivaldi stop working in Linux mint

[sebasicario]

It had been working fine but suddenly when I open vivaldi the entire window looks blank, the UI or the content of the URL is not visible. Only by opening it with --use-gl=desktop can I make it work again, but I'm not clear about what that parameter produces or how I can fix it so that I don't need to run it that way. Anyone with any suggestions? Thank you

@DoctorG Sometime it helps to delete all GPUCache folders in Vivaldi profile folder.

This command will locate all GPUCache directories in Vivaldi profiles, it covers both Vivaldi Stable and (if installed) Vivaldi Snapshot. There are two GPUCache directories in each profile.

find ~/.config/vivaldi* -type d | grep GPUCache
