DNF5 can replace the current package manager in Fedora 41, as the proposal has been made and is pending approval.

Enhanced Performance: DNF5 promises faster repository metadata processing and improved package query operations, aiming to save users precious seconds during package management tasks.

Reduced System Footprint: By eliminating Python dependencies and merging the functionalities of DNF and MicroDNF, DNF5 offers a significantly smaller installation size, reducing metadata redundancy.

Unified Experience: Fedora aims to provide a consistent package management experience across all platforms, with DNF5 serving as the sole package manager for servers, workstations, and containers.

    I read D-NFS, and though “oooh, is there a distributed network filesystem?”. That would be useful.

    Utter disappointment to see people talking about yet another package manager.

      This isn’t a new package manager, Fedora is already using dnf. This is just the next version of their current package manager.
