So I use Chromium for work. I installed it through Discovery and selected the “From Fedora Linux” option. It’s worked fine for months. Then this morning, I closed out of it then opened it up later and it simply would not launch. It gives the little bouncy icon for a moment, then nothing. So I fiddle around with it, and downloaded the flatpak version, which worked, but I don’t want it. Any idea how I can get it back up and running?

Running Plasma 6.1.5, Wayland. I already tried hopping into the Gnome desktop and that didn’t work. Thanks in advance!

      Crazy that fedora hasn’t updated command just in case someone wants to play the boring SHMUP lol, on arch and debian it’s just “chromium”
