Thank-you.  There have been a few times I wish I had done that.

I also use root for installing, patching, and upgrading.

I could not find any files as you described left in root's home by dnf
or yum.  Am I looking in the correct place?  What should the file name be?

says:

Every Installation Produces a Kickstart File
The Fedora installation process automatically writes a Kickstart file that contains the settings
for the installed system. This file is always saved as /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You may use this
file to repeat the installation with identical settings, or modify copies to specify settings for other systems.

I don't know how far back this goes, as my current Fedora system was put into service in Nov. 2019.

Regarding the lack if visibility for Wayland: I think Nvidia was very slow to support Wayland (or
was it that Nvidia ran Wayland slowly?), so if you have been using Nvidia drivers it doesn't
surprise me that Wayland was not on offer.  This might change for Fedora 34 when Wayland
gets a divorce from Xorg.
