Before do this post, i reinstalled Fedora 41 KDE twice

First problem is relatively small. SDDM doesn't start on boot, even if i do 'sudo systemctl enable sddm' and reboot. On forums i saw that someone fixed that with 'sudo dnf reinstall sddm' but i can't do that because of second problem

Second problem is below:

sudo dnf update

When i installed iso throw browser download was stopped couple times with error but i was able to continue it. After that i installed iso throw Fedora Media Writer and at the end of downloading it said that Image is corrupted

Sounds like you have a problem with your network connection to the internet.

What OS are you doing the download on?
Can you use curl to do the download?
curl can be told to continue a failed download from the point it stopped.
This may help.

Also you should check the checksum for the image you download to make sure that you have all the image and its not corrupt.

Once that is done if you still see errors then I suggest you try a different USB stick.
The one you see the problem with may be failing.

I downloaded it on both Windows 11 and Fedora KDE 41 in different browsers (Brave & Firefox).
Checksum on for KDE:
sha256sum: WARNING: 17 lines are improperly formatted
sha256sum: WARNING: 11 listed files could not be read
sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match

Also i did checksum for GNOME version:
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-41-1.4.iso: FAILED
sha256sum: WARNING: 17 lines are improperly formatted
sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match

Something is causing your download to be interrupted Check you internet connectivity.

How did you install the system?

When did you install it? What fedora version?

SDDM should just start.

If you did some weird install, maybe this can help

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

Added dnf, f41, kde-plasma, mirror-manager, mirrors, sddm and removed kde

I reinstalled KDE spin for like 7th time once again using Fedora Media Writer and problem fixed itself.

You need to only use the one line in that file to check your download.
It has other lines in the file that are not used for checking.

That shows that the downloaded iso was not successfully downloaded and should be redone.
