How do I install the RPM Fusion repo on Amazon Linux 2022?

Question

As per [these instructions](https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration) I’m trying to install the RPM Fusion repo on an Amazon Linux 2022 container spun up in Docker, but it doesn’t work:
```
bash-5.1# dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
Last metadata expiration check: 0:38:10 ago on Wed Jun 15 10:01:47 2022.
rpmfusion-free-release-34.noarch.rpm             14 kB/s |  11 kB     00:00    
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides system-release(34) needed by rpmfusion-free-release-34-1.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
```
I understood that Amazon Linux 2022 was Fedora 34, so this should work, right?

Answer

I believe that the problem described here is the same as the problem described at:

An immediate solution is to create a new EC2 from an Amazon Linux 2 AMI.

Answer

AL2023 is an independent distro that uses multiple upstreams. It's not directly compatible with any particular version of Fedora, and therefore rpm-fusion packages are unlikely to work with it.
