What do I need to do to get the system to boot to the desktop?
Does journalctl show anything from the failed boot to a desktop?  There

What would be something to search to find? I get a little window with a sad face that says an error occurred, try again. The crash reporter app  shows a string of system failure but says The backtrace  does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be reported
You could try another desktop manager / greeter.  You would have to
remove the 3 from the kernel startup line.  You should be able to use
The 3 comes from a grub edit, without it the boot locks to a blank screen requiring power off.Tried sddm and lightdm.
dnf from multiuser, and do a search for desktop,
dnf search desktop
to find other greeters.

Prefer kde but xfce works.

How did you get to f38?  Upgrade, or install?  If upgrade, did it
complete successfully?  Were there lots of conflicts?

upgrade from f37 no problems

The original install went to  the 495.44 version of the nvidia driver but my card GT 710 requires  the 470 version. I see in the journal

May 23 13:26:58 HPZ440.attlocal.net systemd[2911]: Started app-nvidia\x2dsettings\x2d470xx\x2duser@autostart.service - nvidia-settings. May 23 13:26:59 HPZ440.attlocal.net kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 495.44, but                                             NVRM: this kernel module has the version 470.182.03.  Please                                             NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver                                             NVRM: components have the same version.

If there is a specific desktop you want, try running
dnf group install --with-optional [name of the desktop group]
to pick up any missing packages
