DNF update produced broken dependencies and conflicts

Hello everyone,

I am trying to prepare my system to upgrade to the latest version of my distro, but dnf is running into some conflicts after doing an update.

I have tried a few of my own solutions, but always run into dnf not being able to move on because of the plasma-desktop package.

Unsure of what to do next, any help would be appreciated.

Dependencies resolved.

 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: plasma-desktop

You are using noboara repositories. So we can and will not support this here. Please check on the website of them.

Disable non-official repos and perform distro-sync:

sudo dnf config-manager --disable nobara\*
sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh

He will probably brick his plasma-desktop and workspace. There are also miss-match between the Architectures.

Nobara makes many changes from the vanilla fedora workstation for gaming and multimedia. Users have to adjust for those differences and wait for nobara to properly support the upgrades.

They also provide 3 different releases. Official, gnome, & kde.
