How are you launching Chrome? Are you running google-chrome[-stable] from a terminal or just doing Win/Meta and typing in Chrome? If it's the former, that could be the problem because... wmcdonald@fedora:~$ which google-chrome /usr/bin/google-chrome wmcdonald@fedora:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/google-chrome lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 May 24 2022 /usr/bin/google-chrome -> /etc/alternatives/google-chrome wmcdonald@fedora:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/google-chrome lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 May 24 2022 /etc/alternatives/google-chrome -> /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable wmcdonald@fedora:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 32 Jul 23 00:03 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable -> /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome wmcdonald@fedora:~$ ls -l /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1585 Jul 23 00:03 /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome wmcdonald@fedora:~$ file /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable Or more briefly: wmcdonald@fedora:~$ realpath $(which google-chrome) /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome 2. What does lsof say for the parent process/its child processes? (You could try strace too, but not sure how you'd strace something initiated from the window manager easily...)
