It's been a while since I experimented with /e/, but flashing is flashing - you just need ADB and the phone image files (zip).

Unless /e/ has a Windows-specific tool these days?

As far as I understand, Windows needs Odin and Linux uses Heimdall. When I realised, I got curious about a more Linux -specific guide.

Usually, the device-specific installation guides should mention the necessary steps for Linux (and Windows), e.g. this one: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/starlte/install

As Heimdall is available in the Debian repos, it's likely the same for Fedora. Alternatively, there is also a guide for self-compiling on Linux (and Windows):
