Hello. I can't address your specific issues with a Fedora install
as I chose to use Debian for my similar install. A big reason for
me was video CODEC issues in Fedora. I got fairly well into it
about a year ago and have not worked with it since. I took your
route as well, "figuring out how to install each package as best I
can, as I come across them, bypassing the ones which I have
difficulty installing". Linux is not my strong point either, but I
do love Qubes.
I created a Debian based templateVM with his mods, (the intent
was to have a separate VM for each case) but that has its own
quirks (browser shortcuts for example and using Firefox). It can
be a high maintenance VM given the dynamic nature of the Internet
and the purpose of an OSINT VM. I believe the maintenance aspect
of his own purpose built OSINT VM image he offered for a while
played a bigger part in his discontinuing support for it than he
publicly admits.
I'd have to review my files on this as I believe I kept notes on the install while following his instructions for the modifications. Be cautious of the tools he suggests, especially in the context of Qubes' reason for being. Bazzell has some great ideas and suggestions, but I urge due diligence - really understand the tool he suggests. Only you know your individual risk level.
Always use a VPN or Whonix.For one, I'm not installing chrome anytime soon. I'll try to stick to open source,
