Some, many.

Lets see:

$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d | grep -v fedora

brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com_x86_64_.repo
home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.repo
metasploit-framework.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
virtio-win.repo
vivaldi.repo
winehq.repo

Let's see, that would be
   Brave Browser
   Waterfox Classic
   Metasploit
   VLC and others
   qemu-KVM
   Vivaldi
   Wine (sometimes for trouble shooting)

SoftMaker, LibreOffice (LO), Master PDF Editor do not
have a repos (yet).

I use LO's RPM as I have to support Windows as well
and I need to run the same version they do.

The ONLY non-rpm program I run is PDF Studio.

I am currently listening to Classic FM on VLC
care of RPM Fusion.


But, if I have issues with non-fedora packages I take it to the community that supports those packages.

You seriously think I was asking for help?  I was posting
a tip to help others.

And, if someone asks about a non-fedora package I may try to find the answer for them.

I don't assume that a large number of people who may use a non-fedora package will be interested in those package issues and pollute the fedora list with musings on what is wrong with them.  Can you
just imagine for a moment if more people did that?

And still the "examples" you give are useless.

What examples did I give?  I only reported the programs
with the issue.  This was meant to help others, not
a plea for help.  Believe me, if I need help, I am
VERY direct about it


I know how to make symbolic links.  Many people do.

You didn't give *any* examples of what "wine" commands

Hmm, what part of Wine fixed it did you miss?

to use or what softmaker commands to use
to "overwrite" created links.

If you really, really want to try it our yourself,
here is a how to reproduce:
    https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=307&t=20923

You have to install SoftMaker Free first:
    https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/rpm/x86_64/RPMS/

And again, I am, not asking for help with this issue.

Although, if you do install SoftMaker Free (or paid)
I would love to hear your evaluation of Soft
Maker Office.  It is a lot more like M$ Office for
those that can't learn anything new.
