Sorry, I laughed out loud when I read that. Only in Linux land would we run into issues like this because stuff is modular so when things aren't the way something expects, shit breaks in the stupidest ways.
Oh I learned early on to either update super regularly so I can see what's breaking as it happens, or be careful upgrading. The number of times I've broken shit by updating software is insane (and not limited to GNOME). Even on macOS, the number of times I've fixed something by symlinking a library file to the same location with an older version name is stupid. I can see why people are interested in something like NixOS.
You could've just stopped there, I had forgotten how weirdly awful it was. The amount of time I spent getting that stupid thing to just fucking have options like "Open in Terminal" is insane.
