i just upgraded from Fedora 40 to 41 on a TerraPad Gnome Desktop.
Summary:
- no working touch support for gnome 47
- no way to get back to fedora 40
- no way to get dnf4 installed to get back to fedora 40
1) Major issue
With Fedora 40 the Gnome Desktop worked fine.
After the Upgrade to Fedora 41, the device boots fine, but is no longer usable without a mouse.
Touch recognition works sort of, one "click" but thats it. there is no way to move the "mouse" and to click anything else.
same result for both kernels, so kernel drivers a fine:
Kernel: 6.11.5-300.fc41.x86_64
Kernel: 6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64
Difference:
F40: Gnome 46.6.1
F41: Gnome 47.1-1
Has really NOONE tested gnome on a touch screen before release?
Before one asks, i will downgrade right after sending this message to F40 again, so no tests, no logs...
2) Major issue due to 1. issue
... oh i can't downgrade back to fedora 40, because dnf5 does not know about --allowerasing what is required to avoid some of the package issues:

You can try to add to command line:
--skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages
ok .. let's try this ...
You can try to add to command line:
--skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages
root@fedora:~# dnf --skip-broken --releasever=40 --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync
unkown argument "--skip-broken" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
Ups..as it looks, dnf5 is suggesting arguments, that it does not have, but that are vital... after 4 years of development :(
Now we have no other option than to remove the packages manually:
root@fedora:~# dnf remove package google-noto-sans-meetei-mayek-vf-fonts-20240701-2.fc41.noarch
No packages to remove for argument: package

it wants to reinstall dnf5 ...
O== The Last Hope ==
dnf --releasever=40 --setopt=deltarpm=false downgrade gnome-shell
and than cross fingers while rebooting...
And what shall i tell you: Gnome 46 works with F41.
But as such a franeknstein system is hard to maintain, it would be bettter to fix the issue or switch back to F40 completly.
best regards,
Marius Schwarz
And of course i will immediately inform gnome right away.
