What I have: Operating System: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.17.7-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.2 GiB usable) Gr…

Hello, I have exact same issue as you. Were you able to fix it? I tried so many different settings and distros… nothing worked.

Sadly no. Seems like a issue that no one cares to figure out. I’m not smart enough to figure it out myself. Only work around I can think of is resetting the computer if you need to use the discovery store.
