    Hello ToneLib Community,

    I'd like to share an experience and suggest improvements for ToneLibGFX on Fedora with Wayland.

    TLGFX opens normally on Fedora when I extract
    the .deb file and run the extracted binary directly. However, secondary windows, such as the file import window, which is likely used to browse files on the system, don't work, possibly due to incompatibility with the Wayland graphical environment.

    Overall, ToneLibGFX works very well on Fedora—I can play, edit presets, and use the main features normally. However, I can't import external files into the program or export anything from it due to these window issues.

    Fedora is a wonderful system for music production, especially since it already has native PipeWire support, but ToneLibGFX doesn't yet have a fully compatible version.

    Below is a video from user @brunobmello25 who is experiencing the same issue using Fedora:


    My suggestion is that the team explore the following possibilities to improve the experience on Red Hat/Fedora systems:

    - Create a Flatpak version of ToneLibGFX for easier distribution and compatibility with different graphical environments.

    - Develop a native version for Red Hat systems like Fedora, aiming to resolve windowing and import/export issues.

    I am very grateful for the excellent work on ToneLibGFX and hope this suggestion helps with the growth and adoption of the software in the Linux ecosystem.

    Thank you!
