Hello @JoKristian, XOpenIM() failed, LANG = en_GB.UTF-8 from your console-linux.txt log might be a hint. Possibly related to #13045.

@kisak-valve Thank you. I guess I should try to rollback my latest update?

sudo dnf downgrade mesa-* Resolved my issue. I'll wait until the problem is fixed before updating. Thanks.
