I found this post with the same problem (one of their problems..): https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3747.msg0.html A "solution" proposed there is to install amd-ucode package, which doesn't exist for Fedora (at least not with "amd" in the name). I'm doubtful as why processor microcode package should affect systemsettings5...
>org.kde.systemsettings.app: System Settings was unable to load any views, and hence has nothing to display. It's saying it can't find any plugins, even the fallback. That's a setup issue. QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 systemsettings might help you.
Created attachment 147252 [details] QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 systemsettings > /tmp/debug.txt 2>&1 The output looks OK to me. Still no indication why the plugins are not loaded.
Running into this problem. Very frustrating.
Debug info looks fine. This problem started when 5.23 became 5.24.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/merge_requests/131
Did you use sidebar mode or icon view mode? Can you find `systemsettings_sidebar_mode.so` and `icon_mode.so` in /usr folder?
I saw the two so files in your debug log, so my fix is not likely to resolve the bug. Please try the fix in the MR or wait unitl 5.24.3 is released to see if the bug is fixed.

I created a new user, logged into Plasma and systemsettings worked. Then I fixed my installation with rm .config/systemsettingsrc .config/kde.org/systemsettings.conf Logged out & in again, systemsettings now open.
rm .config/systemsettingsrc .config/kde.org/systemsettings.conf Fixed my problem. Thanks so much.
