[SOLVED] Launching Google Chrome logs me out of Fedora 35

Issue

I'm running Fedora 35 on a Dell Precision 3541, dual booted with Windows 10. Total storage for the system is 1TB, the storage dedicated to Fedora is about 650 GB. The system has 16GB of RAM. The desktop is Gnome.

Whenever I try to launch Google Chrome, Chrome begins to load for a few seconds, then I get logged out of Fedora.

I tried reinstalling both Fedora 35 and Windows 10; the problem remains. Both OSes were reinstalled from the same media as the original installs.

When I ran:
journalctl | grep error,
lines such as:
Dec 27 19:51:44 fedora kernel: BTRFS error (device sda10): bdev /dev/sda10 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 806, gen 0
dominated the output.

The output of: mount | grep sda10 is

/dev/sda10 on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,space_cache,subvolid=258,subvol=/root)
/dev/sda10 on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,space_cache,subvolid=256,subvol=/home)

Running:
ls -a /dev/sda10
outputs nothing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome, with no effect.

Also, after I'd been having these problems for several days, the system firmware was updated. The updates had no visible effect on my issues.

ABRT reports that the failing component is gnome-shell.

I installed KDE Plasma and switched to it using switchdesk. The effect of this was to add new issues on top of the original one, which remained unaffected.

I reinstalled gnome-shell, and switched back to gnome.

I have two questions:

1. Does the "corrupt 806" in the output of journalctl above refer to a hardware or software error?
2. Can anyone point me to resources that will help me solve my issue(s)?

Many thanks in advance for your help or advice.

Solution

If you want to use old /home/username, best thing to do before adding it to newer installed GNU/Linux is to remove folder ~/.config, ~/.local, ~/.cache, any ~/.bashrc*, and any other dot files.
