Learned from @dherder that Google Chrome and a gnome extension have to be installed to use Fleet Desktop + Firefox on Fedora.

You don't have to set Google Chrome as the default browser.

@dherder is the same true for CentOS?

Hey @dherder, when you get the chance can you please sanity check me here before merge?

Sorry for the delay.
Just tested the following:
The method works on Fedora 38.

But on CentOS 7 I cannot even install Google Chrome or the Gnome extension (packages not available and/or manual installation fails). I was never able to make Fleet Desktop work there. That said, CentOS 7 has reached EOL on June 30th 2024, IMO we should drop support for it, but I'm all ears.

Thanks @lucasmrod!

Lucas, ignoring the OS's the customers use for a moment, what do you think we should support? CentOS 8+?

In the meantime, I opened a PR to the docs here to clarify that Fleet Desktop only works on CentOS 8+ (guess that I need help sanity checking)
