= DNF and bootc in Image Mode Fedora variants
Summary
Enhance the image-mode Fedora user experience by providing familiar dnf commands on client side and inside a docker build. Provide DNF5 alongside rpm-ostree while we slowly port functionality from rpm-ostree to DNF5.
DNF5 can be used in most cases during container builds (Containerfile/Dockerfiles) for a familiar UX, initially DNF will point users to use rpm-ostree on a booted image-based/ostree system.
For Fedora 41, will provide DNF5 on image-based Fedora variants (Atomic desktops, Fedora IoT, etc). We will update all layering examples to use dnf during build time when possible. Additionally to DNF we will still provide rpm-ostree as the main tool for package layering on the client side and bootc to manage transactional, in-place operating system updates using OCI/Docker container images.
DNF5 will provide a helpful error when running on an ostree/image-based booted system pointing to use rpm-ostree or to unlock the system.

Current status
DNF5 when installed on a image-based/ostree system can be used to install rpms if the system is unlocked, it also works on most container builds, one major exception at the moment are kernel installations and kernel updates. DNF is not part of image variants at the moment, however CoreOS is exploring adding it via: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1687
Bootc allows system admins to deploy bootable containers and it's available on the Fedora repositories.
