Dear George and Edd,
Thanks for all the suggestions, I've been reading them, but only now I
got around to installing version 6.3 of BRLTTY.
I installed every rpm eccept the source, cause, and brlapi.
I kind of think I do need brlapi, but when i try to install it with the
rpm -i command as sudoer, this happens.
file /usr/lib64/brltty/libbrlttybba.so from install of
brltty-braille-br
lapi-6.3-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
brlapi-0.8.0-11.fc33.1.x86_64
Now, i hope to goodness that i don't have to remove brlapi as a hole
package, cause the first time i tried that it broke pretty bad, and i
had to reinstall the entire Fedora system to get everything back in
order: what happened was, speech wasn't a thing anymore. when removing
brlapi, in fact, a lot of dependencies were removed too, and i think
that's what caused it. so, how can i install the newer package
overriding the error that is written above?
Another thing:
I'm seriously glad i switched to fedora.
I heard and saw online that Fedora was a distro with a strong community,
but seeing it and experiencing it is an absolutely different thing.
So what I'm saying is, thank you everyone, for just welcoming me with
open arms and rying your absolute best to answer my question.
it's just hard to find such a community, at least, for me it has been.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Apparently the Fedora package doesn't create a group needed by brltty
(a capability added in 6.3).
The online docs mention a group with user-defined name (for access to
a "key") as well as setgid.
I'm not sure if there is more than one group needed, or whether there
are other constraints (values
less than 1000) so it is best to get groups set up by systemd.
That doesn't seem to be quite an accurate statement.
I just checked dnf history and apparently it was installed on my
system on 12/26/2017. That
was when Fedora 27 was around. It seems to have been pulled in by
some other package.
But, I've never had a need to use it. So, I'm certain I never added
the group manually.
brlapi-0.6.6-8.fc27 and brltty-5.5-8.fc27 were installed at that time.
The only other dnf actions on the package has been during updates and
system upgrades.
