Not sure there is anything to resolve in this instance as it sounds like the method used to update was perhaps a contributor somehow.
Two things I need to disclose here.
-
We do not actively test against KDE, however, being a Fedora Spin, I tried it on 7040 with 3.03 BIOS.
-
BIOS releases are fast and furious right now for 7040, so folks reading this - it will not matter long term - this was merely a test.
-
Downloaded/USB setup a brand new ISO of Fedora KDE 39 Beta using mediawriter. Smooth install to the 7040.
-
Updated via the terminal, rebooted. Flawless.
-
Nothing attached except power. Running Wayland.
