Fedora 42 Installation

[Csavoldi]

I was able to get this installed on Fedora 42 with AMD GPU as it stand I am able to get the RAW camera feeds to display I am still working on the process to get the loopback module functional.

Right now i am able to display the camera feed but its locked to 1080p 60 frames, causing extremely low frame rate I will keep tinkering and check back if I am successful. Alternate installation process below does not include the loopback module installation but its a good start.

You will get a window displaying the raw feed from all cameras, this is good we have verified that everything we have done from this point is working.
