After upgrading from Fedora 40 to Fedora 41, many programs are not working, such as Software Center, Maps, File, and Clock… Additionally, there are two programs for opening the terminal that are also not functioning. Can anyone help?

I added GSK_RENDERER = ngl into /etc/environment and solved the issue. However, when I try to log in on Xorg, it spends a couple of seconds loading, but I get kicked into the login screen, same as Ahmed

If it doesn’t always pause and go back to log-in (sometimes logs in to desktop fine) that might be another issue, but solvable in my case with auto-login (would require setting Xorg from log-in before setting, or possibly disabling Wayland via custom.conf)

Installing xorg-x11-xauth, xorg-x11-xinit and its dependencies did the trick. I don’t know why those were removed after the update

For me, there was no entry in /etc/environment file. Then I added GSK_RENDERER=ngl and after a re–login everything started to open. Like, Gnome Software, Console, etc.
