Question

Answer 1

This is most likely an issue with your graphics card driver, i would recommend doing a clean re-install of the driver if it doesn't fix itself on reboot.

For flatpak users on linux, i recommend running "flatpak update" in the terminal to update your GPU dependencies for flatpak (it typically breaks if you update your GPU driver and not flatpak GPU libs), this is what resolved the issue for me.

I made this answer because switching to software rendering isn't really a solution, it's more of a dirty workaround, and will only waste your CPU utilization.
