dnf5

Package management utility for RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS (it replaces dnf, which in turn replaced yum). DNF5 is a C++ rewrite of the DNF package manager featuring improved performance and a smaller size. For equivalent commands in other package managers, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta. More information: https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/.
