I broke some packages and I need help figuring out how to fix it.
I run Nobara and usually update via "Nobara Package Manager", however it ran into a problem:
Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: nobara-amdgpu-config
I found the solution on Nobara projects site: sudo dnf update --exclude=nobara-login --refresh && sudo dnf update --refresh
That did result in several packages begin updated, I just skimmed through the list but I remember some mesa stuff. After a reboot some apps render like in the picture - missing characters or missing text all together and flickering artefacts. I run things pretty out-of-the-box so not sure what I've done that has lead up to this, just care about gaming.
Turning AA off for fonts solved the missing characters, downside it doesn't look very good. I still have glitchy artefacts in some menus and the package manager doesn't display any text for buttons which is a bit problematic.
Guessing disabling some more AA settings would remove more of the problems. But it doesn't solve my main problem - why did AA break in the first place
