The package manager is a little slower but `dnf history` is a lifechanger. It's so easy to list the history of all transactions and undo a specific one. There are huge performance improvements coming in DNF5, scheduled for Fedora 41 (this fall).

Is there a downside to just installing the dnf5 package right now? I see it's available for 38+.

It's not considered polished enough to make the default. Some functionality isn't reimplemented yet. It's difficult to transition backwards once you've switched.

Where can I read about it?

Try setting "max_parallel_downloads = 20" in "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" the next time you try (the default is 3 which often doesn't saturate the network and is just slowing things down).

Try using the flatpak version of browsers. Acceleration should work ootb
