Most libs (and other system files) will be installed by whatever
packages you install (that's if you've been installing packages from
the repos).
One thing I do, post-installation, is when I'm adding any extra apps
that aren't default, I'll write a log into root's homespace. As I'm
yum/dnf installing whatever, I'll copy the commands into my post-
install log. That gives me a reminder, for next time, of the things I
added.
Yes, I know dnf has a history but it's handy to have some notes about
what you chose to install, without having to care about the extra bits
it dragged in as dependencies. And a year later, your dnf history
might be quite long, as opposed to reading a text file of the 8 things
you added after a default install.
