[chirp_users] Installing chirp on Fedora 33

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Install the flatpack version of Chirp. It comes with the required Python version.

I just installed SLINT (Slackware for the blind) on my laptop and python2 was not included in any of the build libraries. So, I am going to have to find python2 and install it as a secondary just to get chirp working. Otherwise, I have no way to program any of my radios (no accessibility on the other two platforms). If this isn’t the worlds biggest hint that things need to be updated, then I don’t know what is (other than a 6 mile wide rock plummeting in from space and destroying the planet).
