How to remove packages you don't use - especially non-standard packages with rpmreaper? I need this to update the system. I'd like to have a back door.
I installed rpmreaper. Before that, I have fulfilled the 1st part of paragraph 3.https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_package_manager
Use
dnf leaves

List installed packages not required by any other installed package.
You need to install python3-dnf-plugin-leaves to use dnf leaves.

Some people in the past got in to trouble using dnf autoremove.
