The process of:

  1. Adding the copr repository
  2. Installing the glfw binary
  3. Setting MultiMC to use the system binary

Is not enough in practice, at least for me. Instead, I have to also include:
-Dorg.lwjgl.glfw.libname=/usr/lib64/libglfw.so.3.3 (Maybe libglfw.so.* would work too)

Otherwise the client cannot simply find the library. It would be greatly appreciated for anyone else having trouble to add this as a disclaimer for the Fedora option. Maybe something along the lines of:
"It may be necessary to include the following JVM argument -Dorg.lwjgl.glfw.libname=/usr/lib64/libglfw.so.* if MultiMC cannot find the library path."

I do not know if this issue can resolve itself by simply restarting, I haven't tested this specific issue beyond this. Also not sure if this is merely a problem with Fedora 35 specifically, for all i know, MultiMC could be simply checking /usr/lib/ as opposed to /usr/lib64/ where the binary is installed to, and if its just installed to /usr/lib/ on older versions of Fedora.

For me it's not needed and works perfectly fine, so I think it depends on the case.
