Then it goes ahead and breaks the software it packages itself, through a wide variety of insane decisions. Calibre does not officially support Fedora. Please report a bug to the fedora developers, or go use the undoubtedly misbegotten version of calibre which is distributed via rpm. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=357381 for more details."

This is absolutely a Fedora problem and giving up on Fedora is a reasonable approach to take.

Seems like the correct solution is to give blame where blame is due, and leave it at that.
Maybe add Wayland too. It seems not even Beta yet. Other than annoy people and have "shiny", I can't see the point of it.
