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’ve been using it since I switched to Fedora a month and a half ago, and I have had 0 problematical with it. Considering how much Fedora likes to be a testing bed for everything, I’m surprised it wasn’t here with Fedora 39 (because it was delayed).
