Phoronix: Fedora 41 Will Try Again To Switch To DNF5 Package Manager

Fedora 39 had hoped to use the DNF5 package manager by default as the next iteration of this package management solution for RPM-based distributions. But DNF5 wasn't ready and then delayed to Fedora 41 -- skipping over the Fedora 40 series due to the RHEL 10 branching from it and not wanting the very new DNF5 to be part of that marge. Now the change proposal has been re-filed for introducing DNF5 by default in Fedora 41...

If anyone else is curious as to what unified user experience means:

Consistent user experience is offered to users across servers, workstations, and containers, as dnf5 is the sole package manager deployed there. Existing dnf, yum, and microdnf commands will be linked to dnf5, while compatibility aliases for essential use cases will be provided to facilitate migration.

They also don't need the commas after containers or dnf5.

It's truly a curse when you can't read anything without seeing misused commas. When you're constantly thinking "Well that's unnecessary!" or "Why is that there?" you tend to lose the meaning of what is being discussed.

Keep in mind none of the developers involved speak English natively. Considering that, this is all very well written.

When did you get appointed King of the English language?

They wrote it the way i would have written it.

I, think, there, are, more, important, things, to, worry, about.

How does CentOS Stream compare to Tumbleweed?

It doesn’t. CentOS Stream is more like Leap.

The change proposal was filed on Thursday by Red Hat engineers for changing the default manage manager to DNF5.

CentOS stream is not a rolling release in the way that you are thinking. It's rolling in that patches from redhat roll into your system, not rolling in that upstream releases roll into your system. It's just the next point release of RHEL WIP, basically.
