I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

    Fedora uses DNF, with rpms under the hood, not sure how that works, haha. Honestly I have no problems with it. I’m no power user, but it does everything I need. The only downside being kinda slow repo fetches.

      dnf is to apt as rpm is to dpkg.

      The first pair are the nice user friendly front ends that pull things in and install from the repos.

      The latter are the guts that directly handle the raw packages and are used by the frontends.

      The next release of Fedora will ship DNF5 as the default package manager, which is supposed to be much faster.
