Good morning,
I've been asked to join a "Slack" team. I did a "dnf provides
slack" and got nothing. Before I try doing things the hard way (via the Slack web
site), is slack actually not available via dnf, or did I do the query incorrectly (wrong
name?)?
By the way, I see from "dnf provides zoom" that zoom is now available via dnf.
You mean this slack?
Slack is a proprietary business communication platform developed by American software
company Slack Technologies. Slack offers many IRC-style features, including persistent
chat rooms organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging

"proprietary" would be a big clue as to why it isn't part of Fedora.
But, you do have.....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf search slack
