DisplayLink driver install on Fedora 37

Download the Ubuntu drivers from here
sudo dnf -y upgrade --refresh (to ensure everything is updated)
reboot to ensure using latest kernel
sudo dnf -y install dkms libdrm-devel openssl (I rebooted again to ensure those took effect as it didn’t seem to the first time)
sudo openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out \ MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=Displaylink/" (This is to sign the module for secure boot)
sudo mkdir /usr/src/evdi-1.12.0/
mkdir displaylink && cd displaylink
Make sure to extract the downloaded file above into this directory. Make the file executable (I just did this in the GUI as it was easier for me at this point)
sudo git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi
cd evdi/module/
sudo cp * /usr/src/evdi-1.12.0/
sudo dkms build -m evdi -v 1.12.0 --force
sudo dkms install -m evdi -v 1.12.0
cd ~/displaylink
sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.6.1-59.184.run or whatever version is available when you read this
reboot
After doing that, I was able to get it all working from a fresh install.
