Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I’m my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I’d prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn’t have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it’s simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options… if anyone can help a Linux noob I’m all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

    Generally, building from source will be the same regardless of distro.

    • Install dependencies
    • Download source
    • Build it

    The only difference between distros is how you download the dependencies. Eg, apt-get install ncurses-dev vs dnf install ncurses-libs or whatever.

    So when downloading dependencies:

    • Look up what the dependency is
    • Find out the name of the package that your distro ships for it (eg Google “Fedora [library name] package” and you’ll probably find it)
    • Use normal installation commands
