It is fair to say that the DNF package
manager is not the favorite tool of many Fedora users. It was brought
in as a replacement for Yum but got off to a
rather rocky start; DNF has
stabilized over the years, though and the complaints have subsided. That can only
mean one thing: it must be time to throw it away and start over from the
beginning. The replacement, called DNF5, was slated to be a part of the
Fedora 39 release, due in October, but that is not going to happen.
