QMK on Fedora 40:

The pip install failed, so I use the Docker option:

1. Install: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/fedora/
2. Run on start: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#configure-docker-to-start-on-boot-with-systemd
3. QMK: https://docs.qmk.fm/getting_started_docker

Symlinking keyboard directory into qmk_firmware/keyboards seems to not work, so:

rsync -r $HOME/mkmods/qmk_firmware/keyboards/humanplayer2 $HOME/qmk_firmware/keyboards

cd $HOME/qmk_firmware

To compile: util/docker_build.sh humanplayer2/laser:focus7

To flash: util/docker_build.sh humanplayer2/laser:focus7:flash

To make /dev/ttyACM0 writable, while QMK flashing waits for this with board in bootloader mode, run in other terminal:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0

This does not keep until next.
