Doesn't seem to work on Fedora 43

@marcprux this doesn't seem to work on Fedora 43.

How did you install Skip? With Homebrew? What errors do you get?

And what are you trying to do with it on Linux? Note that Linux support is fairly limited (see https://skip.dev/docs/faq/#linux), but some features should work fine. That being said, we only routinely test on Ubuntu, so it is definitely possible that there are some platform-specific issues.

Welcome to swiftly, the Swift toolchain manager for Linux and macOS!

Please read the following information carefully before proceeding with the installation. If you
wish to customize the steps performed during the installation process, refer to 'swiftly init -h'
for configuration options.

Swiftly installs files into the following locations:

/home/anonym/.local/share/swiftly - Directory for configuration files
/home/anonym/.local/share/swiftly/bin - Links to the binaries of the active toolchain
/home/anonym/.local/share/swiftly/toolchains - Directory hosting installed toolchains

These locations can be changed by setting the environment variables
SWIFTLY_HOME_DIR, SWIFTLY_BIN_DIR, and SWIFTLY_TOOLCHAINS_DIR before running 'swiftly init' again.

Once swiftly is set up, it will install the latest available Swift toolchain. This can be
suppressed with the '--skip-install' option. In the process, swiftly will add swift.org
GnuPG keys into your keychain to verify the integrity of the downloads.

For your convenience, swiftly will also attempt to modify your shell's profile file to make
installed items available in your environment upon login. This can be suppressed with the
'--no-modify-profile' option.

Try picking option 5 from Swiftly's menu? "Fedora Linux 39" might work.
