"Is there anyone who was able to run MATLAB on Fedora Workstation 43? I tried a lot. I’m new to Linux and need MATLAB for my class. It worked for me before on Pop!_OS so easily, but on Fedora it didn’t run. It installed, but it’s not launching.
Have you tried launching it from the command line so you see the messages that are reported during startup?
Launching from the desktop icon does not display startup messages.
There may also be messages available with journalctl -f which would display messages recorded real time as it follows the journal entries. Launch the journalctl -f command then start Matlab and you may see related messages as it tries to start. End the command with ctrl+c.
Those messages seen on screen would assist in troubleshooting the problem.
