I don't really want to use Fedora anyhow. I installed version 38 and worked 
with it a little, but I wasn't that impressed. I just wanted to test Fedora 
43 to see if the AppImage of Trelby would work in it, because Fedora people 
were complaining that Trelby wasn't currently working with the native or 
FlatPak versions in Fedora 43.
