Gnome broke after uninstalling cosmic-de

i tried to reinstall gnome with
sudo dnf reinstall gnome*

but didnt made any difference, my system looks weird, gnome top bar dont show, everthing looks missalign and out of format

im using fedora 41

This is just an untested guess try:

sudo dnf install @gnome-desktop

If that does not work I’d guess that cosmic messed up your config.
You could try as a new user to see if the desktop looks ok.
In which case one or more files in ~/.config or ~/.local will likely need removing.

As a first step, create a new user, log in and see if everything looks like expected. Then, it’s a config issue.

you are right, i created a new user and everything looks normal. But i already deleted some files with “cosmic” in its name , so what im looking for to turn back to normal ?

yes, is something on my user configs, you know what i have to look for ?

Sorry no.

The brut force fix will be to rename .config out of the way and login.

Yes, but must has be a file that contains this gnome stuffs , for me to reset it

Solve with

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/
