It is definitely happening on Linux.
I have Manjaro XFCE installed, and after I install ESET NOD32 for Linux Desktop, Google Chrome starts to flicker, and close.
When I uninstall the antivirus, Chrome works normally.
There is a work-around. If you start Chrome without sandboxing, it works OK.
To do this, you run Chrome with --no-sandbox
But, it is not good to run Chrome without this protection in the long term.
