With the release of Fedora 40 it’s time to
start looking ahead to what Fedora 41 has in store. One of the largest
changes planned for the next release is a switch to
DNF5, a C++ rewrite of the DNF
package manager. A previous attempt to make the switch, during the Fedora 39 cycle, was called off, and
deferred to Fedora 41. The developers have had nearly a year to address
compatibility problems and bring DNF5 to a state suitable to replace DNF4. Signs point to a successful switch in
the upcoming release, though there may be a few surprises lurking for Fedora users.
