Solaar no longer running via Distrobox (Fedora, Arch or Ubuntu)

I have been using Solaar via a Fedora distrobox container forever, but it recently stopped working. I haven't changed anything about the containers as it exists solely to run Solaar. I have tried running it in Arch and Ubuntu containers, but it fails to run all the same with the same error. This is the terminal output from attempting to manually run it:

→  solaar
rules cannot access modifier keys in Wayland, accessing process only works on GNOME with Solaar Gnome extension installed
failed to set up dbus

Solution:

You can remove it from your distrobox, it has a flatpak now
