I recently needed to revisit a design I made 4 years ago,
(back when I was still running F33/F34)
I have since also recently upgraded to F39 (that has KiCAD V7)

And the first problem I see is that on my schematic all of the parts
have no symbols on the schematic.

What happened to them, and how can I restore them?

I can't answer the first question. But for the second question, I would try to perform a reinstall to see if it helps.

    sudo dnf reinstall kicad

To hazard a guess ... the problems you are seeing may be due to different formats between the F33/Kicad and F39/Kicad. Renaming the Kicad configuration directory may help. It should be in the root of your $HOME directory.
