Being leading edge doesn't mean those usecases aren't relevant, one is
not mutually exclusive to the other, especially when it comes to
things like FPGAs etc.
We still have myriad of VM orchestrating solutions (libvirt,
vagrant,
gnome-boxes, and probably others I forgot).
There shouldn't be a problem spinning up a graphical environment of
CentOS 7, getting EPEL and then using the tool.
Maybe the tool would work using the `toolbox` utility using last known
good Fedora version for the tool.
That is just my wild guess however.
This is sometimes the tax for being "too" modern.
If the vendor does not want to support Fedora, we can't be held
accountable to fully support their solution.
Does the software work? Yes? That is great! If not, well… we can't do
much without the source code under nice FOSS license, can we.
