    Fedora uses RPM packaging format and dnf is just a front-end for that. Atomic variants of Fedora and uBlue distros (they are based on the former) use rpm-ostree, which also works with RPM.

    Also, please stop being so confident in your stance when you don’t know much about Linux or your distribution of choice. People are here to help you only out of kindness and not obligation.












    • dnf-automatic looks a like a package designed for non-Atomic versions of Fedora.
    • libreoffice is available as a flatpak. You should avoid layering packages as much as possible.
    • A VPN app makes sense to have layered. I assume it comes from a third-party repository added to /etc/yum.repos.d. It is possible this package does not support Fedora 42 yet. You can try removing it to see if the update succeeds.
    • rpmfusion is a repository providing packages that often cannot be pre-installed due to some legal reasons. Unless you need/installed a package from there, uninstall it.




  • Garuda Linux was one of my first distros when I started three years ago. It is fine, but I generally prefer customizing my system to my liking, including installed applications. I switched to Arch Linux (which is what Garuda is based on) after a few days. After using it for two and a half years, I realized I was spending way too much time customizing it. Then I switched to Fedora and it was a really tame experience. Now I am using uBlue Aurora, which is a fork of Fedora Kinoite (Atomic variant of Fedora KDE Plasma spin). It updates everything automatically and in one go (similar to smartphones) and I download all my apps from Flathub. It is practically the opposite of what I was doing with Arch.
