I run chirp on both Fedora and Ubuntu with installation following those directions exactly
Never had a problem since those instructions were posted. In fact I assisted Dan in testing those instructions for use on Fedora and have been using chirp-next since it was released over 2 years ago. If you use the apt or dnf package manager to install the system packages as suggested, then only use pipx to install the actual chirp app there is very minimal to ever consider cleaning up since pipx used as your regular user installs everything under ~/.local including the binary under ~/.local/bin and the python packages under ~/.local/lib/python3.1X for whatever version of python3 your system uses. (I have both 3.11 & 3.12 packages installed) Using pipx should automatically find and download all missing dependencies.
