Several problems after installing Fedora, help!
Hello everyone, I've used Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Arch Linux, and decided to use Fedora at my office. After installing Fedora KDE spin, I have encountered the following problems which I really need help of:
Currently only the mouse problem persists, and about the newly installed kernels, I guess it is just better to reinstall? sigh..

(1) The mouse acceleration was horrible, so I made the following xorg.conf to use evdev instead of libinput so that the system setting mouse GUI will show me more options:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev-mouse"
MatchIsPointer "yes"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
The acceleration problem is now solved, but instead, whenever I reboot, the mouse is set for the right handed ...
In dnf
updateandupgradeis the same thing. Both upgrades or updates your system by downloading and installing new updates.@villykruse I'm a newcomer to Fedora so I don't know things well enough, but when should I do it? The article I saw was doing it every time downloading something new. I mean pacman -Syu never broke anything but dnf update broke the system right from my first day using it so I am a bit scared at this point.
Been using Fedora for many years and have not seem a system broken after dnf update, unless you have some proprietary kernel modules, sometimes a kernel is not hardware compatible with my hardware but has been really rare cases. So my first question will be did you run checksum validation to the image you use to install, did you install any outside repository, normally will advise to install rpmfusion.org to install nonfree. Many people break their Fedora installation installing EPEL repositories.
Another good question is did you run a memory test on that machine, I have experience issues when memory dimm is failing.
Fedora is not all that different than other distros. To list your hardware seehttps://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-...
