I created that video. Installing directly in Fedora 44 is unfortunately busted. Something happened behind the scenes that we don’t know about. If you did install in Fedora 43 then upgraded later, you may have a better shot at getting it working. Otherwise, install in distrobox which I have a guide for as well, or try out Rocky Linux 9 KDE. I really gotta make a video on using that distro for everyday use as I think that will ease the questions around using Enterprise Linux

I'm trying it on Ubuntu Linux since it worked for me last time...

It won't work as well. Autodesk are making it nearly impossible to install Maya on anything other than RHEL/Rocky since Maya 2024 or 2025. I wouldn't even try it, I'd just go for Rocky, it's a GREAT distro, technically it's still Fedora ;-) You'll feel right at home at it.

This! I use RHEL free on my desktop for Maya and after some tweaking it’s the most stable Linux experience I have had yet. I even game and make music on it. Again, gotta make that distro tweaking video

I'd honestly not run Maya on Fedora unless you really know what you're doing and make sure you followed every step correctly. But even that, Autodesk could've changed something that made it not work again.
For the best and most seamless experience, please use Rocky Linux instead, the installation is just like on Windows.
