Hi,
I did upgrade my Linux Mint system form 20.03 to Linux Mint 21. Unfortunately since them balenaEtcher does not work. When I start Etcher in terminal bod I got the following message.

Hi,

it is a problem with electron the application should run when you start it with the --disable-gpu-sandbox argument added.
See examples and the discussion here GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye. · Issue #3639 · balena-io/etcher · GitHub
