Fix Vivaldi Graphical Corruption after Linux Update

I updated openSUSE today. And, after launching the Vivaldi web browser, there was clear graphical corruption within the Vivaldi window immediately after launch.

This issue can also be triggered by a Vivaldi update. I originally experienced this issue a month ago when I updated Vivaldi on a different system.

The problem appears to be an underlying graphics upgrade which invalidates Vivaldi's graphics cache.

Solution

The solution was to:

• Close Vivaldi.
• Open your file browser.
• Navigate to ~/.config/vivaldi
• Search for "GPUCache" folders.

The search results should include subfolders.

• Delete the GPUCache folders.
• Launch Vivaldi.

Vivaldi should look ok now.
