I believe the update from the 23 june broke plasma-desktop or kwin. I do not have the ability to switch virtual desktops any longer, the virtual desktop widget pager is gone from the panel and windows overlap but cannot be moved. Typical shortcuts to change window sizes do not work.
By not being able to switch virtual desktops you suggest that your plasma desktop is running and you should be able to run programs. If that’s the case you may open a konsole and troubleshoot the problem by yourself by inspecting logs or run the openmamba “system report” and send it via the website if you are expecting suuport from whom is writing.
With the latest upgrades KDE Plasma has been updated to 6.4.0 release and proved to work on some test environments. The kwin package has been split upstream into kwin (wayland) and kwin-x11, by the way both are installed if you have performed a full system upgrade because the desktop-base-kde package will require the new kwin-x11 package as a soft dependency. Provided that all packages have been upgraded the system logs may reveal if there is some plasma component which is reporting errors or crashing.

This may be partially redundant with what already written in previous reply:
discoveryis a strict requirement of the KDE Plasma desktop environment as it is provided by openmamba so it is by design a requirement of thedesktop-base-kdemeta package.kwin-x11is a weak requirement ofdesktop-base-kdeand it is removed because it was installed bydesktop-base-kdeitself which you are removing, so dnf considers it a leaf which is no longer required. Supported openmamba Plasma desktop users are not expected to remove neitherdesktop-base-kdenordiscover.By wanting to uninstall
discoveryyou are customizing your desktop installation in a way which is not supported by openmamba, so you will also getdesktop-base-kdeand, e.g.,mambatraytools removed. You can do it but then you have to manage the desktop requirements on your own. You can of course just reinstallkwin-x11after the removal ofdesktop-base-kdefor your needs. You can also make and maintain your owndesktop-base-mycustomkdemetapackage if you want and know how to do it.
