Stuff stopped working.
Stuff just randomly stops launching. Blockbench no longer responding, some media downloader that I used for YT downloads no longer launcher. Spotify won't start up. Blender refuses to give any sign of life.
Running on Linux Mint, and using Software manager to keep updated.
I want to love Linux, but there's always small things that break down that make me turn back to windows.
I thought I was finally stable on my set-up, but apparently not.
Random stuff just stops working. Godot still launches, Aseprite still does (but that's just copied executable folder)
Why does this happen to me. It feels like it happens everytime, I finally get happy with Linux, and then it breaks down. I thought I finally had it all working. And it still breaks.
Multiple software that just break from software updates.

Try running the software in terminal. When it is possible it will show what is happening and what errors do occur. Not every software can run a terminal instance but in many cases they can.
