Package manager?
Hello, I'm trying to use blazzite as a gaming box, and then when on the side or not gaming run a terraria and mincecraft servers.
I've been working my way through this and I can see that dnf exists (just typing dnf shows its there and subcommands). I figured this was what fedora used so I've been trying it. However, whenever I try to use it in the command line it just doesn't exist. I can't add repos or anything with it. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing.
On some of the errors it says to use yum, so I tried using yum, but it throws the same error that subcommands don't work.
Am I just going in the wrong direction? I thought bazzite was fedora, so that's what I've been doing. Am I dumb and should be reading up on something else.

dnf does not exist on fedora atomic and it even says so when you run it.
it is just a link to
rpm-ostree which should be used as a last resort when whatever you install needs tight integration with the system (ex: VPN clients) but at the sacrifice of longer update times.
also documentation exists which will answer all your questions.

the priority for what to use to install programs goes this way from left being highest priority

for minecraft and terraria servers i would recommend distrobox (unless its using steamcmd in which case we have it included in the bazzite portal and you can try that first)
Okay, so I was just looking in the wrong place. It's strange that fedora atomic doesn't have dnf but i can run it and works for upgrades and stuff .
dnf is currently incompatible with atomic because everything except
/etc, /home and /var is read only
i believe the plan is to fix that though at some pointThanks, I am going to go through the docs and see if what I am looking for can be done in there.
The fedora atomic I am seeing when googling it is https://projectatomic.io/
Is that correct
or should i be looking at this

yeah this second one
for Minecraft I think you can just use brew to isntall openjdk@21
brew install openjdk@21
use the command it gives you to export to path and reboot OR just run the full path /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openjdk@21/bin
Then you can use Minecraft server .jar as usual
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openjdk@21/bin/java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar noguiI've never ran Terraria servers before, but seeing this guide I think it will work if it's just using the Steam game files. The server files directly from their site probably works as well
