dnf VS ubuntu-pro-client

I just use dnf-makecache.service to handle background metadata syncs. Just modify the dnf-makecache.timer to manage when these occur.

However its o my going to work on rhel 10 or anything that has very very up to date DNF version.

Sure. Raise a bug report. Asking nicely on Reddit isn't going to make it happen.

I'm not sure, I'm not a dnf developer. It was implemented in C++, so it would probably have to be done differently in version 4. I belive dnf development is focused on version 5 right now, so adding features to version 4 is probably not a high priority. It would be nice to see it in version 4 so it could be added to current versions of RHEL and Fedora, but time is a finite resource. Perhaps you could implement and send a pull request, or at least file a bug to discuss it upstream?

dnf uses python only for command line functionality. Its core part, libdnf, is written in C++. However yes, dnf in my experience is still significantly slower than apt and pacman.

Lots of people use python apps and not know about it. I don't get where the idea that it's complicated comes from. You run them the same way as everything else. For example if you use anything redhat-based you're running a python app (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf). If you're running any desktop environment, you're likely using at least one python app or something with python scripting embedded.

Of course they also changed the default fedora dnf.conf to make it include best=False, so there was no change, except users can simply delete this line in dnf.conf to enable best.

Restore 20apt-esm-hook.conf which Pop OS maintainers apparently deleted.sudo wget -O /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/main/apt-hook/20apt-esm-hook.conf

I'm not sure about support for multiverse. The Ubuntu Pro page just says Universe. According to the Repositories definition Multiverse "contains software that is not free" so I don't think they could update it even if they wanted to.
