He's bringing the PC to me so I can experiment now, but I think it went back to the prompt and evolution simply never appeared.

I'm an old-school admin who used to build his own X configs - haven't kept up with the desktop stuff, despite having fedora as my daily driver for decades :-) > My current preferred method is to use rustdesk.

Do you have a pointer on how to do this? I'm also assuming his desktop is wayland, given it's the fedora default, so should I convert to Xorg? It's a basic 10yo PC with a built-in video card and 64GB RAM.
