gollark: I "fixed" the problem by fully downgrading my system to the package versions of about a week ago, adding everything with "qt" in the name to the "do not update" list, and updating again.

gollark: There's a relevant bug report but it just says "Fixed" and is closed, with the comment "plasma-integration 5.7.5-2/5.7.90-2 ", and others got closed as duplicates.

gollark: How I hate dynamic libraries.

gollark: I ran a broken program in `gdb` and this happened?```Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.0x00007ffff7fde4c1 in _dl_relocate_object () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2```

gollark: So I got one reply on r/archlinux about my weird issue, and it turned out to not be very helpful.
