## What I don't like
I have found DNF (the package manager) to be rather slow, even a basic search or updating mirrors can take what feels like an age - even on a fast machine with a good internet connection. Local package searching with rpm is fine, just searching global packages is awfully slow. Yes there are workarounds but by default it feels sluggish.

Local package searching with rpm is fine, just searching global packages is awfully slow. Yes there are workarounds but by default it feels sluggish. DNF5 written in C++ offers some good improvements but is unlikely to speed up package queries.
While having up to date versions of software is nice sometimes and I think i've only had one issue with things being too new and breaking. During the Fedora 37 beta, I tried upgrading and found my install of [Pyinfra](https://pyinfra.com/) had broken due to Python being upgraded from 3.10 to 3.11. Reinstalling didn't help but these issues cover the problem [1](https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/791)/[2](https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/886).
Overall, a lot of the issues I've had have been minor, my own fault or unavoidable. I would still recommend Fedora to anyone!
p.s. by the time you're reading this my blog will have moved to using Zola over 11ty, the new github url is <https://github.com/crimsontome/crimsontome.com>. Might be a post on Zola coming eventually.
