The default install of Fedora 41 Server is text based. To install a graphical desktop execute the following as root:

dnf -y install gnome-desktop4 gnome-session-wayland-session gnome-classic-session f41-backgrounds-gnome gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-terminal gnome-text-editor gnome-calculator gnome-calendar gnome-disk-utility gnome-font-viewer gnome-logs gnome-usage gnome-system-monitor gnome-session-xsession firefox libreoffice

To get the system to start in graphical mode on boot, execute (as root)

systemctl set-default graphical.target

Optional – set up RDP on your server

yum -y install xrdp xorgxrdp-glamor
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3389/tcp

Now edit /etc/xrpd/xrpd.ini. Find the section for [Xvnc]. Remark that section out using # in front of every line. Find the section [Xorg].  Unremark that section by removing the # at the front of every line. Now execute
