I'm using Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma and I want to set up OpenVPN to play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on HunsterVerse with my friends. However, the tutorial I found just says to run "apt-get install openvpn," which I now realize is not the right command for Fedora. I figured out that I need to use 'sudo' first, but I came across an error stating it couldn't find the openvpn package. I tried updating with 'apt-get update', but it didn't solve the issue when I attempted to install OpenVPN using 'apt-get install openvpn'. Here are the commands I entered in the terminal:
widget@fedora:~$ sudo apt-get update
Reading package lists... Done
widget@fedora:~$ sudo apt-get install openvpn
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to locate package openvpn

You shouldn't be using `apt` on Fedora, that's for Debian-based systems! On Fedora, you want to use `dnf`. Just run `sudo dnf install openvpn` and you'll be good to go. If you have any issues after that, let me know!
You can install OpenVPN with `sudo dnf install openvpn`. KDE Plasma usually supports OpenVPN out of the box, so you might not need any extra packages. Just check your system settings for VPN configuration options!
Have you checked out the forums for Fedora? They can be really helpful for issues like this!
I was following instructions that told me to use apt-get. I didn't realize I should use dnf instead. Thanks for the heads up!
