I wonder why Ubuntu would support the package but Fedora wouldn't.

Pan dropped Gtk2  in 2022 after moving to Gtk3.  However Gtk4 is another
breaking change and I don't see anything about going to Gtk4

Fedora 40 uses Gnome 46 which is buit on Gtk4. Ubuntu 22.04 uses Gnome 42
but 24.04 uses Gnome 46. 24.10 will be Gnome 47 so I don't know if Pan
will be available on Ubuntu 24. I'm not planning an upgrade anytime soon
since it's supported until 2027.

Debian 12 uses Gnome 43. My Debian 11 box is Xfce so I assume Pan isn't
available on it either.

It's too bad that the asusctl people are limiting me to Fedora. I
really don't want to use it.
