It's vastly better nowadays.

Also with `dnf` RPMs are as easy as DEBs. And some of the commands are similar.

I find dnf is even smarter and better at managing dependencies.

I only ever run 2-3 commands. `dnd install` `dnf update` and `dnf remove`. Update handles the repo refresh and actually updating packages. And force refreshing repos you just add `--refresh` to the command. Otherwise it does it every few hours on its own (the refreshing of repos, not installing updates)

Fedora is a breath of fresh air after decades of Ubuntu, and then Manjaro. I wouldnt go back and I have used Ubuntu since 5.04 til 22.04

And dnf5 is around the corner making the "slow" dnf issue a thing of the past!
