Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
dnf4 is notoriously slow and memory-intensive. dnf5 can list the system package count much faster than dnf4 can. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, it's not the default version of DNF on any version of Fedora or derivatives.
Describe the solution you'd like
hyfetch/neowofetch should detect the presence of dnf5 on DNF-based systems and use it when available.
