Well, you’re not wrong here. It is better to use dnf-related commands. yum as an alias exists to make sure that old server scripts for RHEL remains compatible.
Generally the lifecycle with this sort of thing is old_thing becomes an alias to new_thing, and eventually old_thing gets dropped as an alias down the line.
It’s still decent advice to learn dnf native calls and to update scripts using yum to those native calls.
yumis just an alias.No way…
LOL
I just told a guy that he shouldnt use yum anymore. While he was using dnf all the time.
