i woke up the pc this morning, the system reported me that there were updates available, i tried to instal them, it takes alot of time to report that there are 13 packages that need update but stays at fetching updates message i left it all day and stays there, i rebooted the pc, the same situation…

i just got kernel 7.1.3, all working as expected, seems to be fixed i think i will avoid snap from now on, it didnt worked for me and then it brought problems, flatpak seems to me the way to go, less problems, just works

This is what solved it for me! I don’t know what installed the plasma-discover-snap package initially, but removing it finally got rid of the “Fetching Updates…” Thanks!
