I installed kde by dnf install @kde-desktop hoping to get rid of this issue following this reply .
However, neither the issue was resolved nor do I like kde-desktop.
I tried to remove it by undoing the transaction ID like - sudo dnf history undo
But then it says
No package @kde-desktop installed.
Error: no package matched
How should I cleanly remove kde without affecting the dependencies that gnome relies on too?
I think I should not do dnf remove @kde-desktop because that will also remov…
Somewhere in here I did some crazy troubleshooting too
Again like many I have issues upgrading a F39 install to F40.
I have to use traditional Fedora on that PC as it is a dualboot with Windows. While Kinoite had no issues at all, system upgrades on traditional Fedora dont work well at all and are often broken for me.
Here I get the issue that the upgrade would remove many packages and one of them seems protected. Trying to remove it, prompts me to remove the entire plasma desktop.
user@PC:~$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40 --all…

Note that the ‘k’ in kworker is for kernel, not KDE. They are kernel worker threads. You are going to have a hard time getting rid of them, and if you do, your system probably will no longer boot.
So apart from that, no other KDE packages you need removed?
