And beside the fact we are on a debian forum, and that debian is much
better than fedora and arch linux, all this don't answer the main problem :
there is no package called neodim. If this is this neodim :

https://github.com/zbirenbaum/neodim

it's only 2 lua files implementing a plugin for neovim. So why bother
installing fedora or arch linux when you can easily download the 2 files
and put them in the right directory ?
