Hi, i just migrated to fedora 41 from windows.
the problem is i am used to debian os’s but this one has got me.
after installation of Fedora 41
‘’’
mrvh@fedora:~$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 41 (Forty One)
‘’’
"
mrvh@fedora:~$ sudo dnf update
sudo: dnf: command not found
"
I can’t update nor install any packages.
i have no package manager. in other distros it used to be apt but in here i hear it’s either yum or dnf.
I don’t have any of it.
i tried to install it manually but i need to download dependency after dependency, i mean i have to download whole lot of them each dependency has 5 more dependency.
so is there a easy way to install dnf?
i fear if i install it manually i get version conflict since 41 is the newest version.
i wonder why dnf didn’t come with the os installation anyway?
You said you migrated from windows to fedora 41.
How was the installation of fedora performed?
This topic is tagged as budgie-atomic. The atomic versions of fedora do not use either yum or dnf, but instead use rpm-ostree as a manager.
The ‘normal’ versions of fedora such as workstation, kde, etc. do use dnf.
If you wish to use the atomic versions you must learn more about the system and how it is managed with rpm-ostree. There are noticeable differences everywhere, including many immutable parts of the directory tree.
thank’s a lot friend. you are a lifesaver.
i just didn’t know the name of my package-manager i wasn’t trying to change it.
and you are right i have to research a bit before installing a new os.
mrvh@fedora:~$ sudo rpm-ostree --version
rpm-ostree:
Version: ‘2024.8’
With an OS learning is done by immersion. Install the OS then learn by doing as you manage it.
Good Luck!
I hope you enjoy the new experience. 
Clearly, it’s your fault for not checking the documentation, although I had also mentioned that the Fedora website might have plenty of information about the package for the distro you’re planning to install (atomic desktops).
