Description

The project currently uses `yum` as the package manager for RPM-based systems. However, `yum` has been deprecated and replaced by `dnf` (DNF5 to be more precise) in modern distributions such as Azure Linux, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS Stream.

Although most distributions provide a compatibility symlink (YUM->DNF), it would be beneficial for the project to officially support DNF.
