I typed 'yum' by accident because I run RHEL at work and it still uses yum. I also alias yum to dnf on Fedora, so I'm doubly confused :) The && means "if the previous command exits without error, then do...". It is literal; you can type one command, and then && followed by a second command; as long as the first doesn't fail, the second runs afterwards. > Are you really saying you can have two different programs both > installing things at once?? My rsync command is mostly just copying my personal data. I guess there's a chance of yum trying to install something to ~/.local or ~/.config and conflicting with what rsync is attempting to copy over, but if so I have yet to encounter (or notice?) it.
