Minicom only does baud rate 9600

I’ve been using Fedora KDE/Plasma for a few years at work. Recently I updated to 43 and around that time minicom, which I use quite frequently, stopped working. I can’t figure out the issue. I tried reinstalling Fedora on a new drive but the problem remained.
It seems the problem is that it’s stuck on a baud rate on 9600 even if I try and set it to anything else. It will say it’s on 115200 but operate at 9600.
I’ve tried setting changing it in the setting in the program and even tried launching it with this command “sudo minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyS0” but no luck.

It is the same issue when using a USB to serial adapter. Both worked prior to the update, but again I’m unsure if it was after the update or just around the update to 43.

I’ve been unable to find anything from anyone else having this issue.
I don’t know if this is the correct forum for it. I can’t say if this is specific to Fedora, but since that’s what I’m running I thought it best to ask here.

Anyone have any ideas that might help?

Thank you. Just tried that.
When I run the “sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed” command I get the output 115200
But minicom still only sees gibberish on the 115200 baud rate compellent I have it connected to at the moment.

I did try installing a version of Putty on Linux and that worked, but it appears extremely limited on Linux, couldn’t even copy paste in it.
