Need some help with Chromium on Fedora (hexbear.net)

So I use Chromium for work. I installed it through Discovery and selected the "From Fedora Linux" option. It's worked fine for months. Then this morning, I closed out of it then opened it up later and it simply would not launch. It gives the little bouncy icon for a moment, then nothing. So I fiddle around with it, and downloaded the flatpak version, which worked, but I don't want it. Any idea how I can get it back up and running?

Running Plasma 6.1.5, Wayland. I already tried hopping into the Gnome desktop and that didn't work. Thanks in advance!

it’s chromium-browser and not chromium, that would be why the command is not found

Ohhhkay! Thanks for clearing that up. Here's the error output:

[70532:70532:1005/105835.024179:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(358)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (98887) on another computer (fedora). Chromium has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Chromium.

search says hostname change is causing a problem and ~/.config/chromium/SingletonLock being deleted should fix, may require reboot

Crazy that fedora hasn't updated command just in case someone wants to play the boring SHMUP lol, on arch and debian it's just "chromium"
