DNF

Did Not Finish

no, that's a status for someone who pulls out of a Disc Golf tournament.

wp:DNF (software) is the successor to Yum - a package manager for .rpm-based Linux distributions. In RHEL, and by extension, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, yum is an alias for dnf. (So you're using dnf even if you think you're using yum.) dnf has been around since 2013 and became default in 2015
