This morning when I botted my laptop (Dell G15) and the login didn' appear,
just the mouse arrow. I thougt it was a sddm problem so I switched to gdm and

installed LXDE and that too worked without problems but it gave me an error
about KDEconnect(crashed) and the same when I tried to start Konsole, while
the LXDE terminal works.
Journalctl reports a lot of kdesomething that dumped core,the first seems to
be kdeconnect...
It seems that KDE is, for some reason hosed. Is it possible to do a reinstall
of KDE or reinstalling F34 is the only solution.
Before taking any drastic measures.....
1. Create a new user and see if it also has the issue. It could specific to
your user.
2. Think about posting to the KDE list as more experienced folks may hang out
there.
After every possible thing I could think of , I removed all KDE and reinstalled
it, no joy, exactly the same. Time to reinstall F34, and this is when I
discovered that it is nearly impossible to reinstall F34 on a btrfs system
without reformatting /home too (!?) I thought that was to point of having /home
on a different partition (which looks like it during install but it isn't in
btrfs, I didn't know that). Having TWO full backups i started from scratch and
reinstalled, and this time "standard partition" and "xfs" I don't think I'll
touch btrfs again until the Fedora installer can deal with this absurdity.
And now, back in business, writing this in my new KDE!
Only problem, this new installation didn't see thw Win partitions (maybe I did
something when delating btrfs?) and it is not in the Grub menu... I'll deal with
this if and when I need that.
