Not the solution but is there a reason you’re not updating? If no addon is holding you back, this bug might be fixed with an update.

You don’t need to specifically use the repository of your linux distro, you can install the latest release with 3 lines of commands(assuming you know what you’re doing) as shown in the download page:

Did download etc. But that did not fix the problem.
My wild guess is the new Gnome 41 and Fedora 35 beta are both too new to Anki. I will wait till oktober 28 when fedora 35 is launched.
Thanks for your answer.

I’m surprised that did not help, as the error you posted appears to be specific to your distro: Third party Linux packages and source builds are not supported - Frequently Asked Questions

When trying a binary build, please make sure you remove the system version first.
