Problem Description
A user is reporting that Rancher Desktop is failing to install on Fedora 44.
Proposed Solution
We should add to the smoke tests, to install Rancher Desktop from the repositories without having xvfb &c installed, to ensure that we can pull in the dependencies we need.
This obviously means we will not be testing running Rancher Desktop.
Alternatively, we can adjust our existing smoke tests so we install xvfb &c after Rancher Desktop has been installed.
