dnf: Remove a package.

$ sudo dnf remove ${package1 package2 ---}

try on your machine

The command "sudo dnf remove ${package1 package2 ---}" is used to remove one or more packages from a system using the DNF package manager on a Linux distribution.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

"sudo" is a command that allows a user with administrative privileges (superuser) to execute commands as another user, often the root user. In this case, it is used to run the following command with elevated privileges.
"dnf" is the package manager used in distributions like Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). It is similar to the popular package manager "apt" used in Debian-based distributions.
"remove" is the specific action being performed by the DNF package manager. It indicates that you want to remove packages from the system.
"${package1 package2 ---}" represents the list of packages that you want to remove. Replace "package1", "package2", etc., with the names of the actual packages you want to uninstall. If you want to remove multiple packages, separate them with spaces. The "---" after the package names is optional and is used to indicate the end of the package list.

For example, if you want to remove two packages named "firefox" and "gimp", you would run the command as follows:

sudo dnf remove firefox gimp

This would prompt you for your password (as it requires administrative privileges) and then proceed to remove the specified packages from your system.
