It turned out that Skype and Slack can be installed from AUR with one command

| yay -S slack-desktop skype

I left the article just for history
I switched to Manjaro and encountered the fact that Skype and Viber are packaged in RPM and DEB. What to do with Arch?
On GitLab I placed a simple script that converts rpm to pkg.
Using the Script ¶
- Install dependencies

| sudo pacman -S rpm rpm2cpio cpio git
python3 -m pip install --upgrade --user pip pyyaml jinja2
