From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It sounds like Proton VPN (or its repo) is causing issues for you. Given that it's a paid service, you can probably contact their support.
Alternatively, you can also look for the repo file in
/etc/yum.repos.d, something like/etc/yum.repos.d/file_name.repo, for Proton VPN. You can then disable it by renaming it to.repo.disabledand try again (sudo dnf upgradein the terminal). Note: This is not really a permanent solution, as it will disable updates for Proton VPN.A lot of times you will see the format string for the fedora version in the .repo file. This means its probably looking for f41. Since fedora updates fast, third party repos are usually slow to move to the next version and this repo probably doesnt exist causing dnf to fail. You can try and change the format string to the last available version. It usually works without issue, and updates aren't disabled as long as the vendor updates that version
