UPDATE: I'm not sure how or why, but disabling HW acceleration, restarting and then re-enabling HW acceleration seems to have made a huge difference.
Running Ubuntu 22.04. If I load opera from Activities (super + a shortcut), then it takes a long time to load. (I have not timed this and in fact I don't even know how to do so.) If I open a terminal and type "opera", it loads almost immediately. Why is this the case and how might I remedy it?
opening opera from Activities menu yields: https://pastebin.com/m0BCJtnQ
opening opera from terminal yields:
