Dnfdragora is awful on Fedora cinnamon any other packet manager possible?
 
Dnfdragora is awful on Fedora cinnamon any other packet manager possible?

It usually cannot find anything I want it just lists lots of things I am not looking for.

For example Mintstick which I can get on most other distros packet manager.

Needed as when I click on an iso I do not get make a bootable stick which is on other distros and having to use Other and disk image writer which says restore when it actually is not restoring and lends no confidence that it is making a bootable stick.

I prefer the one they have on Linux Mint Packet Manager which lists suggestions in various categories on the first screen.

This would improve Fedora for me.

Any ideas?

I really hate dnfDragora too, so slow and clunky. I really miss the old Yumex, and not all of us are keyboard monkeys.

Open dnfDragora and search for "mediawriter".

It ends up in your menu under Administrative and it's called Fedora Media Writer.

It's as clunky as dnfDragora, it works well but it resizes the partition on the memory stick so that all the extra space can't be used and is just wasted. But it does work.

Cheers,

Andrew.

After all these years, and all the complaints; DNFDragora is still around. While it has been pointed-out that yumex was SO much more user friendly, and there was never a good reason supplied for shifting to dragora ... we're still here. Makes one start to once again consider Ubuntu.

For the first time ever dnfdragora has worked.Only because I upgraded to Fedora 33 and that took three days to do.
