When launching RetroArch, the menu freezes up instantly or after a couple of

This isn't happening on my system. I can use the menu normally, launch
content, etc.
Can you provide some more information about your environment? I'm using
X11 (not Wayland) on an Intel GPU. I also don't have any controller
connected, only mouse and keyboard.
Could you please run it as "retroarch --verbose" and post some or all of
the output up to the point where it freezes? There are also some
troubleshooting tips on the upstream site:

Would it be possible for you to install the debug symbols and capture a
backtrace when it's frozen?

A work-around is to change the settings in .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
menu_driver = "rgui"
video_driver = "sdl2"
Just to confirm, I checked my config after starting it for the first
time, and I got these defaults:
menu_driver = "xmb"
video_driver = "gl"
and did not experience any freezes.
The issue appears to be resolved in v1.9.0 which is the version currently
available as flatpak.
If the 1.9.0 you tested was the flatpak, I wonder whether it's possible
for you to also to test a flatpak of 1.7.3, in case there is a relevant
difference in the build environment or the libraries used?
Thank you!
Ryan
