only lists Gnome-Software, so it is Gnome centric
in the dnf section, should at least mention dnf search, and the fedora packages web app?

I'd open a PR, but I think it'd be preferred to remove the page given the large changes I think it needs. 😔

Anyone any ideas how we deal with this page? I think it needs a complete revamp.

topic flatpak and flathub store is missing
unsure if we really want to link to "software alternatives" (danger of installing untrusted third-party crap)

I'd remove it to begin with maybe. We already have a page on using dnf:

Is @ankursinha working on this? If not, you can close this issue because I took the issue #521 to rewrite the section altogether.

I believe it is a happy medium rather than removing it. Will raise PR so you can review it.

Maybe we need to change the title because some of contents are published elsewhere.

I'm rewriting this page in #521

Here is the ToC for revised 'Finding and installing Linux applications'.

Graphical application managers
Search by category
How to enable Flatpak
Want to search in web browser?
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/
Command-line apps (refer to dnf page)
Containerized apps (need a separate section)
