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
That is helpful, I’m not sure what I’m looking for yet though. But another comment lead me into antialiasing and this line in the history seems plausible. install -y /tmp/zenity/nobara-amdgpu-config/fedora-amdgpu-pro/packages/amdamf-pro-runtime-5.4.3-4.fc37.x86_64.rpm /tmp/zenity/nobara-amdgpu-config/fedora-amdgpu-pro/packages/amd-gpu | 2023-04-25 20:11 | I, O | 11
Undo didn’t work though:
sudo dnf history undo 11
Error: The following problems occurred while running a transaction:
Cannot find rpm nevra “amd-gpu-firmware-20230404-149.fc37.noarch”.
So I made a rollback to my last know stable point: sudo dnf history rollback 2
It didn’t exactly workout either unfortunately:

I’ll do a reboot and see what actually took effect. Atleast I’m learning something, maybe I should do all my upgrades via dnf instead of the manager in the future, easier to know whats going on.
Yeah I kind of realised that the instructions assumed I had already upgraded, will try to keep track of new updates better in the future. So for sake of completion here’s how I solved it in the end:
Ran into conflicts: file /usr/lib64/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 conflicts between attempted installs of openh264-2.3.1-2.fc38.x86_64 and noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.3.1-2.fc38.x86_64
Solved it with exclusion: sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38 --allowerasing --exclude=openh264.x86_64
Fonts and glitches are gone, got some broken deps instead. So if anyone got a suggestion for that instead let me know. Otherwise I’ll do as it suggest –best --allowerasing’ and see what else breaks:

Yeah I forgot to mention that I’ll not be using dnf manually but rely on nobara-sync. But I must stress that I already did that before this issue, BUT I followed advice on nobaras own website where the solution was to use dnfand I still ended up with this problem. The real issue was still my own though, I should have upgraded to Nobara 38 before trying the workarounds, since 37 isn’t supported any more.
It un-fucked itself thankfully, I haven’t done anything to resolve that issue. But when I ran the update today it went well with several new packages. Which means Nobara or Fedora pushed some changes to packages in the repos.
the heroic launcher was recently updated to support gamescope (installed it through flatpak by installing org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope 23.08 through the terminal using >flatpak install)....
I pretty new to Linux gaming but I love it. Currently playing games directly from Steam and Blizzard games via Bottles. Please help me out with a few questions. What is the use case for gamescope? What is the use case for Heroic? Is it instead of Bottles/Lutris?
I have played the campaign of Diablo 4 - I did not have much expectation but I got bored fairly early in the game. With each new game, franchises are supposed to get better, but I am not sure that is the case with Diablo....
SPAs were a mistake (lemmy.world)
Request for help, I broke some graphics (lemmy.one)
I broke some packages and I need help figuring out how to fix it....
gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
