My DNF is very broken and VERY, VERY, VERY slow. I don't know what's the cause, but when I try to run dnf install or dnf update I must wait a long time until it print something in the Terminal (> 1 min).
Quite often I can't install "Important OS updates" and when I try to run DNF commands I got erros that abort the current dnf operation, sometimes.
I've solved the problem and I didn't have to uninstall Yum/ DNF.
The problem is that a repository (ozonos) was failing to synchronize every time:
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'ozonos' from '[u'http://goodies.ozon-os.com/repo/20/']': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried, disabling.
I've a lot of other repositories that is failing to synchronize, but when I removed this one my DNF command start working properly again. To disable this repository I just run:
sudo yum-config-manager --disable ozonos
Anyway, thank you for your support, @bitwiseoperator!

So, this doesn't necessarily mean that dnf is broken; it could be a latency issue with the mirror being selected, for example. Have you tried enabling the fastestmirror option in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf? (See my answer in that question for the instructions). If that doesn't help, we can try some more troubleshooting before attempting to reinstall your package manager.
This didn't worked at all, my DNF still very slow. It's fast to download and fetch repositories and packages, but right after I digit
dnf <something>and press Enter, it looks like DNF is waiting for something else or frozen for some reason. It takes very long time until it starts to fetch repositories, but later is very fast.
