From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hopefully DNF5 gets in for F41, especially since it was supposed to get in as the default for the current release, F39. If anyone’s curious, here’s the vote for deferring: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3039
The reasoning for the upgrade: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5#Benefit_to_Fedora
And the reasoning given by the DNF5 team for targeting F41 instead of F40: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EYE2JY537OM7GFW46EK7YIBLHJ52USAZ/ (though fesco also wanted to keep it in F41 to not disturb the mass branching from F40 to RHEL 10)
And some things that need fixing before it becomes default: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/1057
And some commands that will be/are implemented: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/429
Personally, I just hope DNF4’s (what)provides comes back in full.
It has been a while since I used fedora. I believe the last time was fedora 31 and heard murmurings of a dnf rewritten in c++ to be faster. Glad they actually pulled it off.
