What do you think of DNF?
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.

Can we stop calling user friendly distros "beginner distros"
it doesn't do that. Everything is handled by libdnf - https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/tree/dnf-4-master/libdnf

Interesting: DNF has recently gained "Vendor Pinning" almost like on Zypper/openSUSE

- Any way to speed up dnf tab autocomplete?
-
still don't understand why dnf metadata only downloads with 10-20KB/s speed on here. meanwhile on speedtest it's roughly 4MB/s
I just use dnf-makecache.service to handle background metadata syncs. Just modify the dnf-makecache.timer to manage when these occur.

Ask HN: What Next After Ubuntu?
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1879
However its o my going to work on rhel 10 or anything that has very very up to date DNF version.

Is it possible to get better tab completion with dnf?
Sure. Raise a bug report. Asking nicely on Reddit isn't going to make it happen.

Fedora 39 Looks To Use DNF5 By Default For Better Performance & Improved User Experience
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?

Python finally offloads some batteries
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.

[dnf settings] how do I get dnf to output its setting values?
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.
