Hi,

This works perfectly, exactly as advertised, on my Fedora Workstation 43. Many thanks for this repository!

There’s one glitch in the instructions:

sudo dnf install libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom print-tod-selinux

Should be:

sudo dnf install libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom libfprint-tod-selinux

However, it appears that the initial dnf swap already automagically installs libfprint-tod-selinux by itself, so the explicit install is not actually needed.

Again, many thanks for putting this together.

Regards,

Daniel
