Hello World,
Hopefully I am finally posting this in the right place. Gonna copy&paste the more relevant parts from the other places where I asked for help. If you have the time/patience to go through it and have anything to add that could help me further I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hello World,
So some genius thought it a good idea to rename tracker3 to tinysparql(at least that’s what my google search turned up, not that I understand any of this) and I tried to update without changing it but it wouldn’t let me so in the end I answered yes and now stuff doesn’t work.
When I say “stuff” it’s just easyeffects for the moment, but I expect to find more in time.
If I try to launch it from the console I get:
[vikings@VIKINGSKINGDOM ~]$ easyeffects
(easyeffects:5436): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:31:35.093: Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/vikings/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini

Gdk-Message: 09:31:35.752: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
[vikings@VIKINGSKINGDOM ~]$
Tried to reinstall it didn’t help, suggestions? 
LE: Yeap, add 2 more, pavucontrol and mission-center don’t work anymore eighter, basically I don’t think anything below/under gtk4 works anymore(but I’m not gonna try everything since I don’t know what some of those are/do)

Anyway, back to the matter at hand, based on what @ddnn said yesterday I figured out this morning how to switch between x11 and wayland and gave it a shot and indeed it seems things work just fine under x11. So I guess I’m gonna go report this to the wayland people…?
Wish me luck, I’ll be back to update this thread when/if a solution is found. Till then thank you for trying to help everyone.
Update
On the other forum a user posted that he is having similar issues with easyeffects and linked me to Unable to open the GUI on Wayland · Issue #3437 · wwmm/easyeffects · GitHub
to which I replied:
Thank you very much for posting that mate, indeed if I try to open easyeffects from the terminal adding the GSK_RENDERER=gl argument it does launch, but the audio effects only work while the window is active. When I close the window the applied effects don’t persist like they should.
Regardless, reading that link gave me the idea to google “report gtk4 bug” which eventually led me to this forum/thread.
So after reading that I did the following in the console:

[vikings@VIKINGSKINGDOM ~]$
And now gtk4 apps “work” again, yaaay, however:
- Remains to be seen if other stuff still works, like games…
- The sound is nowhere near as good, will play with easyeffects to see if I can get it back to where it was, but I still don’t understand how any of this should effect sound quality.
- And last but definitely not least(here come the “” in work) mangohud now opens along with gtk4 apps and behaves very strangely, like you can see in this short video. Any idea WTF is wrong with mangohud and how I can stop it doing that?
Apart from uninstalling mangohud which:
a) wouldn’t really help me as I still would like to use it in games;
b) just to make sure I’m not wasting peoples time I tried and it seems I can’t do it anyway, cause when I try to remove it I get
[vikings@VIKINGSKINGDOM ~]$ yay -R mangohud
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing mangohud breaks dependency 'mangohud' required by goverlay
-> exit status 1
[vikings@VIKINGSKINGDOM ~]$
And maybe are there any other commands I can run to check if other stuff is going wrong under the hood now? Cause that crap just ain’t normal…
LE: Like I said been playing with easyeffects to try and get the sound quality back up(without any success so far) and if I Shift+F12 to make mangohud dissapear(it doesn’t make it dissapear aynmore but at least it makes the buttons/stuff beneath it clip through a bit and come to the foreground more to make it easier to see/use them) easyeffects will crash after a minute or two. If I don’t use Shift+F12 it doesn’t seem to crash, so far…
LLE: Just tried the game I had installed and it seems to still work, and mangohud behaves properly in/with it just like it did before aka it does launch along with the game(just like it does with those apps in the video) but there are no weird clipping issues, it displays the correct info, and it does dissapear/appear when I use Shift+F12.
However the game does present some artifact bars at least in the menus and loading screen(they seem to go away, I think but hard to tell, once I get ingame) at the bottom and top of the screen, see for yourselves I’ve marked them in the pic below…
Perhaps a reinstall will help, remains to be seen.
) so very very much for your help.
