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.
Yes, I don’t get why people still insist on coding production grade stuff with a language that is effectively only suitable for educational purposes - maybe not even that because you would be brain damaging a generation of future developers.
Python is the modern equivalent of BASIC:
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.
Another Disease by Microsoft?
Python has been around a lot longer than Microsoft has been involved.
