I have said version of Google Chrome installed, and it has stopped working on my ThinkPad P14s, which is running latest Ubuntu 22.10.
I have multiple modifications on the OS:
- I am defaulting on X11, instead of Wayland, since I need the ability to screen share on Teams.
- I had multiple "experimental flags" enabled on Chrome. (Such as using Vulkan as engine.)
- My system has NVIDIA Quadro T500 Mobile GPU, and I have following driver installed.

What happens?
The window opens, and process starts - but the GUI completely glitches out:

- I've deleted the config file, as far as I know it resets Chrome plus the flags.
- I've updated the NVIDIA driver from 515 -> 525, Chrome worked for a while, but then continued to glitch out.
- Rebooted the system.
- Downgraded a version to 107, Google Chrome worked once, but after started glitching out.
I would just agree, that it's because of these drivers and some regression they cause with latest Chrome, but because Chromium works fine on version: 108.0.5359.124 (Chromium defaults on Snap, so theres this difference)
I thought, it would be benefiticial to ask, if theres anything I can try here?
EDIT: Tested, that the Microsoft Edge (108.0.1462.76) also works fine, and that is using the same engine, plus is installed as a .deb package. So this issue solely manifests with Chrome. What's the difference here?
