NAME

       dnf-leaves - DNF leaves Plugin

       List installed packages not required by any other installed package.

SYNOPSIS

       dnf leaves

DESCRIPTION

       leaves  lists  all  the  packages  installed  on  your  system which are not required as a
       dependency of another installed package. However two or  more  packages  might  depend  on
       eachother  in  a  dependency cycle. Packages in such cycles, which are not required by any
       other package, are also listed.

OPTIONS

       All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details.

WHY IS THIS USEFUL?

       The list gives you a nice overview of what is installed on your  system  without  flooding
       you with anything required by the packages already shown.  The following list of arguments
       basically says the same thing in different ways:

       • All the packages on this list is either needed by you, other users of the system or  not
         needed  at  all – if it was required by another installed package it would not be on the
         list.

       • If you want to uninstall anything from your system (without  breaking  dependencies)  it
         must involve at least one package on this list.

       • If there is anything installed on the system which is not needed it must be on this list
         – otherwise it would be required as a dependency by another package.
