I had a similar issue of my peripherals not being detected. I was able to simply unplug the dongles and plug them in to other usb ports then toggle the power on the mouse and keyboard and everything was immediately detected.

Never underestimate the power of turning things off and on again lol

Messed with Ubuntu maybe a decade ago was the last Linux experience I had until recently replacing win11 with Fedora KDE on my main machine. Honestly feels like a breath of fresh air. Nothing is asking me to sync it to one drive. Everything is snappy and customizable. It’s clean and just feels pleasant to use. Not ever going back.

Definitely support this recommendation. Having switched to this from windows a few months ago I can say that it is very stable (after I fixed secure boot issue) and very pleasant to use. Solid built-in apps. Tried GNOME first. Its design was good but just not for me.
