As a side note I switched from Debian to Fedora recently and I was amazed at just how much faster in almost every way possible dnf (rpm) is compared to apt (deb). Downloading packages is faster and has less broken mirrors. Actually running the transactions is much faster. Oh, and dnf seems to be able to handle the problem where you have multiple kernels updating or installing and each one has to regenerate the initrd gzip.
