I'm thoroughly confused. I've yum removed zoom, then copied the flatpak. 
rep, then flatpak install 
https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/us.zoom.Zoom.flatpakref,,, and 
there's no zoom. Flathub's web pages need something... like, somebody to 
read them and tell them that they don't explain *ANYTHING*.
