Good ole xda site. Haven’t messed with it for a long, long time. It is a good writeup, I enjoyed reading it, but why does the writer list RPM as a package manager? Isn’t it a package format, or am I crazy?
dnf is the right way for an end user to manage packages in modern versions, as it brings lots of extra functionality and an easier command interface - but yes the command rpm -i is able to install and upgrade packages. RPM’s name is a recursive acronym “RPM Package Manager”

It is a package manager, as well as a packaging format.
dnf/yumis the frontend for RPM. You can also userpmas a command utility.So, I can use sudo rpm install… instead of sudo dnf/yum install…?
