Hey, this happened to me too. I found this post helpful:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/certain-apps-not-showing-correctly-after-last-update

There are couple of links, and the issue with mesa has been reported and is being worked on, so a fix will come with the next update.

In the meantime, I used a virtual terminal/TTY to do sudo dnf downgrade 'mesa*' --refresh as suggested because I didn’t have any other terminal emulators other than Ptyxis installed. So far I have almost everything back, but gnome-software is still borked. Hope it helps!

Edit: It seems that even gnome-software is working again after a second reboot.

There is already a mesa upgrade available:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-df3c68a7ce

Where sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-df3c68a7ce will provide the fix.
