Just for fun, a long time ago I did a minimal install and notice this, on single-user mode keyboard and mouse seems to not work, and also I make a mistake by setting as default graphical instead of multi-user, then when the computer reboots I was not able even to poweroff the computer.

On single-user mode do a search for a package "libinput" or something like "xorg-libinput", also search for something like "xorg-xkb", not sure but once of this make the trick. Install one by one and see which of them fix the problem.

Do not set graphical mode as default, because if this don't solve the problem you will not able to do something else, always run a startx fron single user session to see if the keyboard is working on graphical login. Also install a login, lightdm is the default for Mate, in case it is not already installed.

Seems like a weak/bad dependency solving from a "not yet a production software, buggy and experimental"... dnf. Recently a friend faced the same proble when he did a minimal install.
