Interesting plasma-workspace-x11 https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/plasma-workspace/plasma- workspace-x11/index.html Nov 15 10:46:36 OaklandWeather.localdomain sddm[1125]: Invalid session "" Seems to be issue?? Wonder if changing to lightdm would work? Have used lightdm in past with some machines, and it seems to be a simplier desktop manager, but still works with gnome and xfce? dnf whatprovides */plasma-workspace* shows a lot of packages.
