To remove Control + Alt + Up/Down as switch workspace up/down but retain Super + Page Up/Down
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up "['<Super>Page_Up']" &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down "['<Super>Page_Down']"
To remove Control + Shift + Alt + Up/Down as move to workspace up/down but retain Super + Shift + Page Up/Down
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-up "['<Super><Shift>Page_Up']" &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-down "['<Super><Shift>Page_Down']"

To show the default Ubuntu keybindings

gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings

I have tested this on Fedora 41 and 42 running on wayland.
