Just speaking for myself: I have Fedora installations on 1G RAM VM servers that I've been upgrading for many years now, and they just keep chugging along as of Fedora 35. If I would need to either 1) pay twice the money per month to keep this setup, or 2) spend a few days reprovisioning the servers with Fedora CoreOS 36 (assuming it doesn't suffer from the same problem), then I'd consider neither of these options a desirable outcome. > I use Fedora IoT on GCPs free tier offering and it is fine. I a, assuming > `rpm-ostree install` doesn’t have this issue. rpm-ostree uses libdnf under the hood, so it might suffer from the same issue ... I wonder, what actually caused this issue? Are there just so many packages with so many files now that the metadata has just grown beyond a specific threshold (again)? Or are there underlying bugs / inefficiencies in dnf that lead to more RAM use that would be necessary? If it's the former, then "fixing" the problem will probably need to wait for "DNF5", but if it's the latter, that's something we could actually fix *now*?
