I fixed it. My fontconfig was outdated/incompatible and IDE could not find the “Noto Sans” font. Because of this, the crash happened.

  1. sudo dnf install google-noto-sans-fonts dejavu-sans-fonts -y
  2. sudo fc-cache -f -v
  3. rm -rf ~/.cache/fontconfig
  4. fc-cache -f -v
  5. sudo dnf upgrade fontconfig (to make sure it is updated)
