I want to use my android cellphone data (instead of a public wifi.)

My laptop has only fedora 42 xfce installed.

Do you want to use USB tethering, or to set up a hotspot on your phone and use your laptop’s wifi to connect to that?

USB tethering

So there were initially some problems with USB tethering on Fedora 42, However, if you have a fully updated system (kernel >= 6.14.6) then I believe it should work - see Usb-tethering stopped working after F42 update.

What happens when you try? (i.e. connect your phone to your laptop, then enable USB tethering on the phone)
