I opened Discovery and saw there were pending OS updates, but after clicking repeatedly on Refresh, the list never appears and the Update All button stays ghosted.
I did the updates from a terminal and had another look at Discovery. No change except that there are now 2 updates available instead of 7.
Discover is broken.
Any word on when it’ll be fixed? Is this just an F44 issue or was it there in F43 and I just didn’t notice?
No ETA that I know of.
It’s going to impact anyone running plasma 6.7.0 (F43 or F44)
There’s two different bugs.

If you have the snap backend installed and you don’t use snaps you can work around it.
sudo dnf list --installed snapd plasma-discover-snap
If it’s installed
sudo dnf remove plasma-discover-snap snapd
You can just remove plasma-discover-snap but it will come be reinstalled during updated if snapd is installed.
You can add
excludepkgs=plasma-discover-snap
to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
Besides, snapd updates the snap packages by itself. At least that was what I saw when I had a few snap packages installed.
Thanks, y’all.
I switched to x11 (for other reasons) and found that Discover does system updates without issues. I haven’t tried it again with Wayland, but thought I’d post this info in case it’s of interest to others.
