From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah ok. Then it's definitely a bug with Gnome. Sometimes the user configs can get messed up and make Gnome act weird, but I guess it's not the case here.
Maybe you can roll back up a previous version? What's your distro?
Endeavour OS. Unfortunately I cannot rollback, not using btrfs (using LUKS). Anyeay I dont have a previous snapshot.
you should make backups from time to time. even a half assed backup is better than none. like you could just get a cheap USB drive and tar your whole system onto it. nowadays it's faster than one might think. USB drives are availible up to terabytes and the newer USB ports are really fast.
of course, there are better solutions, but this is quick and easy and helps with everything but broken boot loader or broken partition layout.
