Sorry, I got rid of that dumpster fire Fedora. Now using PopOS.
Wayland was horrible, so many things are completely broken, VNC, and even their own built-in Remote desktop. It couldn't even remote control another Fedora computer. Fedora to Fedora is completely broken. And no, X11 emulation didn't work. Nothing can get remote control to work.
Anyway, back on popOS (X11).
I may have installed it from dnf, or from installing KDE, but it was not a flat or snap.
