Per the subject line any recommendations on F38 would be helpful.

I had both installed on my Dell XPS 13 L322 laptop, but bc the upgrade failed I've had to do a fresh install and restore my data.

Viber does provide an rpm:
rpm can be found here https://www.viber.com/en/download/ (look under the Windows & others section for the Fedora version)

Instructions here: https://help.viber.com/en/article/set-up-viber-on-your-desktop

However, it fails on my laptop with no clear guidance on why or what dependencies are missing.

How do you expect to get useful advice without describing what you tried and pasting the error message?

Brilliant!

Ok, latest Viber rpm from the viber webpage gives the following info:

Examining the installed package via:
rpm -ql viber | grep -i desktop
find the following file
/usr/share/applications/viber.desktop

Looking for the executable produces
Exec=/opt/viber/Viber %u

Runing
/opt/viber/Viber (with/without %u) from the command line produces:
