I just upgraded to fedora 41, and I have heard that ptyxis is the new terminal. I still only have gnome terminal, so I went to install ptyxis (only was available as flatpak). I tried to uninstall gnome-terminal, and it said I couldn’t, so I tried it from terminal and it says the kernel would have to go with it. I am sure I am on fedora 41 because accent colors work.
i also have still gnome-terminal after upgrade (via Gnome Software)
Added gnome, workstation
If you’re on F41, there’s a good chance you can remove the F40-specific kernel packages no problem (definitely check uname -a to make sure you’re on a f41 kernel).

The nautilus plugin is safe to remove as that’s specific to the old GNOME Terminal (doesn’t apply to ptyxis or even kgx)
Overall, I don’t see a problem. Kind-of surprised Fedora has kernel stuff tied to a GUI Terminal, but I’m guessing there’s some reason for that

Thank you, I’m glad the kernel it uninstalls isn’t the one in use, i thought it was at first.
To any future readers make sure you check the version numberuname -a doesn’t match the one it wants to remove before continuing.
dnf won’t let you uninstall a kernel that is in use. No need to worry.

Can you check the output of:
sudo dnf list ptyxis
That should be available from the Fedora repositories.

Thanks, it works as a system package now. For some reason it wasn’t showing in gnome software, but it is now that it’s installed.

There’s no appdata/metadata associated with the 
ptyxis package is probably why it didn’t not show up in gnome software.
There is though? At least, the metainfo gets installed, and I see it in GNOME Software.
The images are all broken, though:
It is there for me as well but it wasn’t there before I installed it from terminal.
Before I installed it there was only the flatpak option here. Not that big of a problem though.
