After recent updates Konsole starts in "/" instead of current user home. Nothing specific in .basrc except some of my aliases. Konsole should start with current user instead of root. Cd-ing into it is no go. There's only one user.
Update: when using KDE's menu and typing "konsole" - it starts with the current user. Using shortcut (I have it to classic "ctrl+alt+t") it starts in "/". WTF?
This is a non-issue and probably not even related to Artix, you can still wait for next kde updates later this week, even upstream Arch had problems with kde ever since around last winter.
Of course, next week if this is not solved file a bug report to kde.
Today's updates fixed it. It was KDE again.
