My OS is vanilla Arch (maybe that was obvious), i'm using KDE plasma, SDDM and systemd-boot.
My Laptop is a Thinkpad E590 with the i5 (8th gen) option, no GPU (only intel's integrated graphics)
The problem i am having with krita is that, out of the blue, it stopped letting me draw anything.
I thought it was a problem with the tablet (a Wacom Intuos Pen Samll, the 2015 version), but i couldn't draw with the mouse either. It is not only limited to drawing though, the bucket option, and any form of the selection tool won't do anything. I tried the tablet on other similar programs like Gimp and Opentoonz and it works no problem.
I thought the problem may be some graphical related issue, as i isntalled earlier the intel-media-driver,libva-vdpau-driver, libvdpau-va-gl and gstreamer-vaapi packages, as i wanted to have intel's hardware acceleration support, i also installed the xf86-input-wacom package along the kcm-wacomtablet, as i wanted the menu in KDE's settings to configure the tablet.
After rebooting, krita would start showing this symptom, which i have never experienced before.
I tried unistalling and reintalling krita, downgrading krita, i tried the appimage. Nothing changed, the only thing worked was to use the snap version, but i don't really want to use snap packages, as it starts slower and it need more resources if i'm not wrong.
I don't know what to do, apart from reinstalling arch completely, as when i first installed it everything was working fine, but this option is very extreme and stupid.
I would really apreccite some help, thanks in advance.

Did you try uninstalling the packages you think triggered the problem?
Does Krita work if you try it in a new user account?

Yes, I already tied installing the "conflicting* packages, but it didn't work. I also tried to reinstall all the packages on the system. Nothing.
I'll try with a new account, and see what happens

Does removing your config and caches do anything? They are in ~/.cache/krita and ~/.local/share/krita
