[SOLVED] Fedora 38 install with Calm Window Manager.

I have a very minimal Fedora 38 install with CWM, that I am trying to set a background color to. Normally, I use .xinitrc however this doesn’t appear to work with Fedora:

Code:

xsetroot -solid \#6BA4E7

I assume that this needs to be placed in a different file, to work in Fedora? I am using the Fedora Everything install, so to my knowledge, Wayland was not installed.

It turns out that for what ever reason, Fedora doesn't include xsetroot when xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-xinit are installed manually.
