Oh damn, caught a nasty one. Was trying to use chromium for something but audio was not playing at all, no errors, just clicking play on things like r-a-d.io gave a "fuck you"...
Was checking if it was wayland or something like that that broke it... (And no, it doesn't open in #wayland, transparent window with the beautiful mouse dragging effect on the screen), but it was nothing related to it...
It seems that the problem was the #plasma integration extension that hijacks things and broke!!
Kinda getting pissed that latest kernel keeps having shit broken and I have to rely on the lts one to have things working.
One of the problems now is ethernet not working for some unknown reason.
Turning off the machine gets some kernel panic. Sometimes at boot. Other times things lock doing some shit (this may as well be some wayland stuff). But on lts kernel is much more stable and working. So recent changes are breaking everything.
And it's an old dell xps, no reason for these problems.
