In my experience TeamViewer on Fedora 34 is NOT supported under Wayland. If you use TeamViewer on Fedora 34 under Wayland it freezes and crashes after a few seconds of use.
It should work fine if you log in using X11 instead, but you will lose trackpad gestures.
sudo dnf -y install ./teamviewer.x86_64.rpm, result of this “dnf command not found”
It would be helpful if you also think one step ahead and present a remedy for this occurrence
@Maloo What Fedora version is that?
