When I restart KDE Plasma, it takes a while for the system to shut down, which I guess isn’t too weird, but it does take a long time to start up. It boots up fine, but it pauses for about a minute on the wallpaper and mouse. The taskbar isn’t visible, Command button won’t work until it fully starts up.
Another weird thing I noticed is when we try to open a folder of bookmarks in Firefox, it also crashes it. I’m not sure if it’s related.
Some of the things I’ve done that I think caused the issue was:
I attempted to install Steam and play a game. The game froze as I tried to play it, so I forced shutdown my computer. I uninstalled Steam after that.
I updated mesa and a few other packages using Discover. I typically just update using dnf, but it didn’t let me update those packages through dnf – Discover kept requesting I update on the program.
And finally, another weird thing I noticed was WirePlumber taking up 100% of the CPU. This Reddit comment helped me by telling me to run systemctl --user restart wireplumber, which fixed any Firefox-related issues, but the issues continue after rebooting.
Again, I’m not sure which of these could be the cause. Here’s my output for asahi-diagnose: asahi-diagnose - Pastebin.com
Edit: Messing around with my system. This shouldn’t go absolutely wrong. :^)
I uninstalled pipewire and wireplumber, and that seems to have done it. Any issues I was having disappeared. Though, I’m going to try to reinstall it because, well, I’d like audio. I’ll add anything new to this reply as an edit.
Edit: Reinstalling them returned the same 100% CPU issue.
Edit 2: I’ve noticed that trying to change my audio using the taskbar crashes the audio popup.

I wanna say that’s the sound the desktop makes when you startup. Or maybe it’s when I try to turn up/down audio and the sound that would play tried to play.
The Volume taskbar popup says “Connection to the Sound Service Lost.”
This sounds like it is a side effect of a bug in lsp-plugins-lv2 in Fedora 41 (lsp-plugins-lv-1.2.19-1.fc41). The fixed lsp-plugins-lv2-1.2.19-2.fc41 should be available now.
If not a sudo dnf downgrade lsp-plugins-lv2 to version 1.2.16* should fix it as well.
