gnome software is so slow it can only install 1 flatpak at time and nothing else not even rpm while it installing app you cant search or do anything
You need to provide much more detail for us to understand the issue. Is this a new problem on an install that was working well or did you just install Fedora? An easy way to provide basic data is to post the output from running inxi -Fzxx in a terminal (copy and then paste the text using the </> button from the top line of the text entry panel).
Slowdowns like you describe are often due to some app hogging a resource. Linux has many tools that will show you which processes are using excessive resources. If you are using F41 Gnome, you should have an app called “Usage” that may help identify if that is causing your issue.
I did use Gnome Software on the weekend, and it was a really frustrating experience as it is soooo slow. Plenty of RAM and CPU available, so definitely not a resource issue.
Installing a flatpak blocks the entire application until the flatpak is installed, as if this couldn’t happen in the background.

It can’t install them at the same time, but it should queue the requested installs in the background…
