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.

How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance

    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.
