A few versions ago, Fedora moved to systemd-resolved as its default,
and no longer uses the hostname file by default.  This was to solve a
problem where systems weren't getting DNS properly.  I don't really
understand all the ins and outs of this, as I have it disabled because
I am using a custom DNS solution via the kresd package.  But, it gives
you a place to start looking.  I have seen many messages about this,
and there are ways to turn it off or customize it, so you should be
able to do what you want.  Though the latest messages I saw were
problems with getting virtual machines to use a custom hostname.

Maybe someone else who has wrestled with this can give you simple
instructions of how to do what you want.
