fckwan@fckwan-desktop2:~$ brave-browser -version
Brave Browser 119.1.60.110

As I cannot start up brave browser. I obtain the version number from the terminal.

thanks

i thought that brave should report the chrome version using the terminal but looks like they do not match not sure if that a bug or something else

now back to your issue
that what i found

could you start brave using this flag --disable-gpu and see if it make a difference or not

The following is the result.
