Flatpak depends on fuse, which you removed, and then when upgrading xdg-desktop-portal 1.14.3-1~flatpak1, it was unable due to the missing fuse dependency, and the package was held back.
What was your reason for installing fuse3? Fuse3 necessitated the removal of the previous fuse package.
I suspect that reinstalling fuse will remove fuse3.
So let's sort that out real quickly- then see if we can resolve the Fuse dependency.
I see, I misread that.
You were installing xdg-desktop portal - but this already comes pre-installed on Zorin OS. So now I am confused.
Why were you installing it?

I am sorry, I was not clear.
I asked you to relay the output in the terminal. I was being to fast with my post.
When you clicked y to accept, it removed your entire Zorin OS desktop.
Please run in terminal
sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop -y
That should restore the above removals.
There seems to be a flaw in the flatpack packaging here.
It sets a dependency on something that does not make sense.
You will now need to use Grub Menu to enter Recovery Mode. Enter the Zorin (Recovery) option. In the Recovery Menu, first arrow key to Enable Networking and enable it. Then back to the recovery menu, arrow key down to "Drop to prompt" and in the prompt, run sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop -y
You must reboot, then tap the esc or tab key after seeing your motherboard splash screen to pull up the Grub Menu. From Grub Menu, select Advanced Options for Zorin
