Might your issue be connected to the bug described below too? Pls see also workaround.

Gnome apps cause WM to fail on Fedora 40

Sounds like: 2292321 – gnome shell wayland sessions crash when any app is launched Try dnf downgrade mesa* Then reboot and see if that resolves the issue. With KDE, using SDDM you get a black screen. Hopefully, they’ll get this resolved soon and pushed to stable. If that is indeed your issue, you’ll need to stop updating until it’s fixed or place an excludepkgs=mesa* in your dnf repo files.
