The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Graphics: CanvasWebGL' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I can confirm. WebGL doesn't work on Xubuntu 24.10. Whatever driver is 550, 560 or 565.

Setting to S2 because it seems like this might be a somewhat widespread issue
