Why is it the worst package manager?

  I haven't used it since ~2005, but at that time it was inexcusably slow. Notably, remarkably, shockingly slow. I would dread invoking it, it was so slow. 10x the time to do many operations, as apt/dpkg, and that's not an exaggeration. I assume that got better, though. I hope it did.

    That "yum" no longer exists. dnf has a "yum" alias so that scripts still work, and a lot of the commands are named the same and accept the same arguments, but that's basically where the similarity ends. And yes DNF is much faster.
