Getting ModelSim-CE to work on Fedora39

Get the Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition simulator software.

The Modelsim* - Intel® FPGA Edition (including Starter Edition) will be replaced by the Questa* - Intel® FPGA Edition (including Starter Edition) starting from the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3 and Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 21.1 onwards.

The Questa basically works the same as the Modelsim.

Note that the Questa* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition Software will now require a valid license (no-cost license) as compared to the Modelsim* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition Software that does not need a license previously.

Generate a license file from the Intel® FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center.

FYI, you can get an evaluation license for non-starter edition.
