Btw i’m using ffmpeg from rpmfusion instead of ffmpeg-free

*Somehow using i3wm instead of gnome fixed this for no reason
*using Gnome(Xorg) doesn’t solve this issue
*login to root with gnome(wayland), everything works normally

Tho i don’t know why, after disabling a few gnome shell extensions it works normally again
