GNOME applications are not displayed correctly

Hi, I just installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed but I have a problem, GNOME applications are not displayed correctly, they don’t show anything but they work and I can close them, maximize them, etc.

Here is my hardware information

It is likely a Vulkan problem, please see gtk4-native-apps-on-gnome-show-blank-windows-with-mesa-25-1-3
Unfortunately you don’t have dual graphics apparently, so possibly your only option is:

  • write GSK_RENDERER=nglto /etc/environment (create that file if you don’t have one).

Will libvulkan_lvp package help?
