Brave crashes usually right after startup on Linux

Description of the issue:

Brave crashes randomly. Most often right after startup. This effect several of our forum members. Our OpenMandriva devs have not tracked down the problem yet. We have had this issue for over a month.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Start the browser. Just let it sit at the New Tab page and wait a moment.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

I woke up this morning and started Brave from the command line in hopes that I could catch the crash. It took less than a minute.

There is no crash report as the directory /home/wilson/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Crash Reports/attachments/ is empty.

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:

Very random. It could happen at any time. For me, it often occurs right after starting the browser. It can happen several times in a row, or only once.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

OpenMandriva all versions.
Brave
Version 1.77.101 Chromium: 135.0.7049.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@WilsonPhillips

Good report.

I suspect, that your issue and post will be of interest to Brave team members @fmarier and @Evan123 , but you might not get a response until after the weekend.
