Confused by package update process in Fedora
Perhaps consider dnf5 instead. Fedora 39 will ship it by default, but nothing's wrong with getting ahead of the curve.
-
Anybody else playing with dnf5 yet?
It looks like that one is mentioned in the same ticket as the transactions plugin... So hopefully they'll both get ported eventually
- How strong is DNF if presented with a malicious repository?
- Oh my fuck... Why does this always to so fucking long? I'm on a Gbps connection

Fedora 38 released with RPM now using Sequoia-PGP (written in Rust)
It's C++ and should be in the next release (39).
- Dnf5 on f38?
- dnf vs dnf5
- dnf search
-
dnf should support different install locations (like the home directory)
Perhaps you could submit the suggestion as a feature request for dnf5?
-
Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
currently, no, but dnf5 looks really promising (video example) and is slated to be shipped in about a year

Deepin has their own packaging format now.
Technically, it hasn't been "proprietary" for a long time. snaps came out in 2014 or so. Snapcraft.io (aka "the backend") has a github repo with commits going back to Aug 16, 2017.

Absolutely proprietary
Technically, they aren't proprietary, even snapcraft.io is open source, it's just a walled garden. But so much else wrong with snaps, so picture still more or less accurate

Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
Technically, they're not really "proprietary" (even the snapcraft.io "store" / backend has gplv3 code on github) ... they're still shit, but not proprietary. It think "walled garden" or "locked down" would be more appropriate phrasing.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dnf5 and snapcraft.io you can also consider the following projects:
dnf - Package manager based on libdnf and libsolv. Replaces YUM.
fedy - Fedy makes it easy to install third-party software in Fedora.
bookworm - The Universally Accessible document Reader
