dnf question

There is a poster on Reddit criticizing dnf as being too slow. I do not use Reddit. But here is my question. The terminal emulator is running in wayland. Right ? So is it fair to compare that to a distro or DE not using wayland ? Obviously, I have no clue what I am talking about. Also, if dn

Re: Quick (I hope!) dnf question. [CLOSED]

Actually, I did read the man page. ... a few times. This thread taught me that "provides" is looking for file names, not command names. I missed that detail in my man page readings. I think I correctly understood what "search" does. Where I went wrong (regarding "xeyes") was in expecting that

(sigh, I can finally get back to this) Thank-you, Samuel. There are subtle details of these dnf capabilities I'm not grasping ("dnf search" does not find xeyes, even with the "--all" option. But it is finding a few of the Python IDEs. I'm trying to learn Python so I can calculate air's abs

Thank-you Rick. So if I did not already know that "xeyes" is all lower case, I would have to do "[Xx][Ee][Yy][Ee][Ss]"? Am I understanding things correctly? I'm actually looking for repository sources for at least 6 Python development environments, and it's not clear when a letter should be u
