Hi everyone!
When both of my monitors are connected the boot will always hang on Starting initrd-switch-root.service - Switch Root… . The only way to then still boot into the system is by pressing the Escape key twice but even then the problems are still not over. Sometimes when it’s loading in Plasma it still manages to freeze (the cog just stops spinning and nothing else happens, sometimes that doesn’t even fully load in freezing when Plasma by KDE is barely shown).
If i have my second monitor unplugged i can boot into the system perfectly with not a single issue.
The exact same problem occurs on both a Live USB environment and an installation on a hard disk.
My computer specs:

I see that you have an NVIDIA gpu - it is possible that it isn’t well supported by the open-source driver “nouveau ”.
Have you already installed the proprietary from rpmfusion? See Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion

I have yes, this still has the same issue of the initrd / plasma stuck in loading.
Oh yeah and i almost forgot to mention but having Secure Boot and/or CSM enabled or disabled doesn’t make a difference.
On every post I recall where this happened the cause has been the nvidia drivers not loading properly or not installed.inxi -Fzxx and dnf list installed \*nvidia\* and nvidia-smi as preformatted text using the </> button on the toolbar.

My sincerest apologies as for some reason the system now does load in properly. However the system is extremely laggy once again making it barely usable. But since this is a different problem i’ll mark this thread as solved and create a new one for the new problem.
The fact it boots with 2 monitors may be solved but the laggy performance may still be related to the nvidia driver. The info I requested may provide a clue about that as well.
In fact, the comment you made above
does point toward the nvidia drivers not loading properly since there certainly should be a difference between secure boot enabled or disabled with the nvidia drivers.

Thank you for the information.sudo dnf upgrade --refresh just in case the problem you are seeing is already fixed by updated software. Please wait 5 minutes after the upgrade before rebooting.
Let us know the results and if the problems continue we can then address it with the latest versions of the software.
One thing that is potentially of issue is the large number of akonadi processes running on that GPU. I have not used akonadi and am unfamiliar with what it is. I also have never seen any related processes running with previous posts here.

I still see the large number of akonadi processes on that gpu and have to wonder if that may be impacting the overall system performance.
Maybe remove whatever that is or disable it to see if a change then is noted.

Hopefully it helps out with troubleshooting if you can see the lag in action so i recorded it and uploaded it here: 20231215_023454
Have you tried with ‘top’, ‘htop’ or ‘iotop’ (or similar) to see what may be using a lot of processing time.
That is similar to what I see once in a while when tracker-miner is updating its database for use with nautilus (file manager).

What triggers me, is the display section:
Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.20.14 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.2
compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa
dri: nouveau gpu: nvidia d-rect: 3840x1080 display-ID: 0
It seems like dri is using the nouveau driver after all.
I’m also running F39, and I have an (older) Nvidia card. My display section reads:
Display: server: X.Org v: 1.20.14 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.2
compositor: kwin_x11 driver: X: loaded: nvidia
unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa alternate: nv
gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch display-ID: :0 screens: 1
So my display section says the nouveau driver is unloaded. Another difference is that your running Wayland as compositor, and I’m using kwin_x11 (for some reason I don’t recall exactly, but it had to do with something that Wayland couldn’t do at some point; maybe it can today, but I never switched back). I have no performance issues that I know of with two 1920x1200 monitors.
Is the nouveau driver actually blacklisted at boot? Check with:
grep 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' /etc/default/grub
For me, this produces:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau resume=/dev/mapper/VG_DATA-swap rd.lvm.lv=VG_SYSTEM/system rd.lvm.lv=VG_DATA/swap rhgb quiet initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

It produced the following line for me:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"

Ran the command with 1 monitor and 2 monitors which gave me a really high CPU usage for both kwin_wayland and a new process nvidia_modeset. I’ve included screenshots of both “tops”

Okay, I’m not that good with desktop software, so I’m unsure if I’m of much help here.inxi does report that DRI is using Nouveau. Therefore, it seems logical that the nouveau driver is loaded. (You can check this using: lsmod | grep nouveau.)
I did some reading on DRI. You can read this on Wikipedia for topics “Direct Rendering Infrastructure” and “Mesa (computer graphics)”:
DRI: “The main use of DRI is to provide hardware acceleration for the Mesa implementation of OpenGL.”
Mesa: “Proprietary graphics drivers (e.g., Nvidia GeForce driver and Catalyst) replace all of Mesa, providing their own implementation of a graphics API. An open-source effort to write a Mesa Nvidia driver called Nouveau is developed mostly by the community.”
So if I’m reading it correct, then when your system is using the Nvidia proprietary driver instead of the Nouveau driver, then it shouldn’t be using DRI at all. Since inxi reports both dri and nouveau on your system, I think it is using Nouveau.
Maybe it’s fixed when you fully uninstall the Nvidia proprietary driver, reboot and to avoid issues, make sure that the nouveau blacklist parameters are stripped from the grub config when you do , install the Nvidia driver, and finally reboot again. I did this myself recently, and it worked like a charm (but I had a different issue to fix).https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Uninstall_the_NVIDIA_driver
Hope this helps; otherwise I’m out of clues.

Okay so before i uninstalled the NVIDIA drivers i ran that lsmod command which actually returned nothing which does sound odd.
A slight change on the command above.lsmod | grep -iE 'nouveau|nvidia' which should show exactly which driver is loaded.
Also please show us the output ofcat /proc/cmdlinednf list installed \*nvidia\*

Are you still experiencing problems (booting or large numbers of akonadi processes)?
