More googling, and the recommendation is to change it to --addrepo; Google (or other search engines) aren't really the best tools to find good documentation for recently changed commands (IMO). It's clearly giving you useless, outdated information here. >> Dnf was updated from dnf4 to dnf5.

No, that is not correct. As Barry suggested, check the dnf documentation, online¹, the dnf-config-manager(8) man page, or dnf --help, dnf config-manager --help, dnf config-manager addrepo --help, etc. Any of those should quickly lead you to the proper syntax: dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:im:signal/Fedora_Rawhide/network:im:signal.repo I don't know if the installed signal-desktop works or not, but that's not really relevant here. IF it doesn't work after installing, that's something to take up with the third-party repo provider. :) ¹ https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dnf5_plugins/config-manager.8.html#config-manager-plugin-ref-label -- Todd
