Quartus License not Working on Fedora 43

Hello Everyone.
I'm Desperately trying to make Quartus work on my Fedora 43.
I mount an Acer Aspire A315-23 with AMD Athlon Silver 3050-U with Radeon Graphics.
I followed the correct procedure to obtain a license through my University email, and Downloaded the License File without overwriting it in any way. The license is brand new, and it's the first time I download a license.
I installed all possible legacy libraries that Gemini suggested me to make Quartus work.

lmutil

gives as output all possible libraries.

I tried to fake the eth0 port with the dummy setup and with the same MAC address as the one required by my license. Nothing.

I tried to close, open, try with the environment variable, and so on and so forth. Nothing.
The only constant is that Quartus always sees that the expiry date of the license is in 2024.
Tried deleting cache files. Tried converting the .dat file to unix format. Nothing.
I'm losing hope. Please, don't tell me the only way out is using windows.
