Today I wrote down some notes on how to manage packages with on Fedora. Fedora uses dnf as package manager. Let's take a look at how to manage packages with it.

Description (from man pages)

DNF is the next upcoming major version of YUM, a package manager for RPM-based Linux distributions. It roughly maintains CLI compatibility with YUM and defines a strict API for extensions and plugins.

dnf check-update # global
dnf check-update <package> # package specific
