bash.4[~]: dnf provides zoom
zoom-5.4.53350.1027-1.x86_64 : Zoom, #1 Video Conferencing and Web
Conferencing
                              : Service
Repo        : @System
Matched from:
Provide    : zoom = 5.4.53350.1027-1

bash.5[~]:

Am I misunderstanding dnf's output?

<https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204206269-Installing-or-updating-Zoom-on-Linux>
has a section for Fedora:
==============================================================
Using a graphical installer (Fedora only)
