I have seen a lot of love towards dnf5 here, and I get that, speed improvements are always nice (although I personally didn’t notice anything, I guess I don’t use dnf often enough to notice).
But what really bothers me about dnf5 is the way cli looks compared to dnf4, I’m having a much harder time quickly scanning the output for the information I want to see. How do you all cope with it? Does it not bother you at all? Did you get used to it? Is there some prettyprint parameter I’m missing?
attached image of dnf5 vs dnf4 side by side (I know in this specific case the dnf5 output didn’t quite fit on one line but even if I expand the terminal to the side it still takes up two pacakges per line no matter how wide I make it. I did not make the window intentionally “badly sized”, this is just 1080p monitor with one konsole split into two columns.)
I guess for now I can always symlink dnf to dnf4 and hope the cli improves visually before fedora removes dnf4 completely in some next release, or try to get used to the new look.
