I was at the /e/-foundations forum adviced to search for a fastboot package for Fedora 33. As I further learned by experience. It is better to ask experienced users in here instead of searching the internet for random Linux softwarepackages and downloading them.
The purpose is to reboot and clean my Smartphone so I can get 2FA.
Both adb and fastboot are provided by the package android-tools. The version in F33 should be pretty recent, unfortunately it has not been built for F34 yet.
dnf can conveniently identify which package provides a file of interest, eg.:
Thank you fasulia. Will dig into that in a minute Is the ADB android package allready a part of Fedora 33. Or do I have to download and install it in my libary ?
This is what confuses me. But as I understand your reply. I do not have to use third party software:
First of all, we know both adb and fastboot are provided by android-tools, by following @fasulia examples.
Then from your Fedora, you can do a search for this package:
sudo dnf search android-tools
