"dnf remove yum dnf kernel" ruins your system<br>
yum don't allow that for good reasons<br>
<br>
that's unacepptable behavior and was refused to change<br>
<br>
dnf needs much more RAM currently while the feature page<br>
pretends it has a smaller footprint - so it's not ready<br>
or the feature page is a "would nice to be" not backed<br>
by the reality<br>

no idea what is your daily job, sysadmin obviously not<br>
<br>
shell scripts are the Unix way and overall more efficient<br>
just because you write tiny scripts for different tasks<br>
and plug them together - efficient is not only a matter<br>
of runtime measure<br>
