When using Red Hat based distros like Rocky, CentOS, or Fedora one of the main complaints is that the package manager, “dnf” is slow. I would actually agree with that opinion. The default dnf package manager without any configuration is quite a bit slower than many other package managers like apt, pacman, or nix. However, there are a few ways that you can make it a lot faster. I am going to showcase two ways, the manual way by editing the dnf config file, or by downloading and running a script called ‘Dnf-Fast”.
