You mean creating the 6 digit codes? Isn’t that the point?

The opposite!
I want to decode the Roshack splotch (OTP) when it is presented to me, so I can enter the number into the multifactor authentication challenge.
You are misunderstanding how this works. That QR code contains a secret value that lets the OTP application generate the 6 digit codes as needed. There is no actual code in the QR code.
To clarify further, you only need the QR code *once*. After that, you use the application to give you the code you need when asked for.
This what I am after. A program presents a QC splotch. A user scans it with their Android phone and reads it into FreeOTP. FreeOTP coughs out a six digit code, which I enter.
I want to do this without the Android.
buy an iPhone ...
exact this what you want is the other way of it sense;
2FA = 2 Factor Authentication
example you login on a site, there you have the knowledge of
user and password
and then the 2nd factor, which is a OTP
when you really do this with your fedora, then there is NO 2nd factor, because when your fedora gets compromised, the 2FA gets compromised, too
