So your command line tool responds quicker? Mostly it'll parse the prefetched data, rather than have to get all the metadata when you run it. Unless, I'm guessing, it decides that too much time has passed since it downloaded metadata and when you ran the dnf tool. I removed dnf-dragora, and dnf-makecache.timer still exists. They're different things. dnf-dragora is that task bar thing that pops up telling you there's packages available to update, and you can fire off the updates from it, and a GUI tool for installing packages. I removed it, I don't use them at all. dnf-makecache.timer simply keeps the dnf metadata refreshed (which probably isn't essential). It's a part of the main dnf RPM, so I don't think you can get rid of it. Try masking it if you want. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
