The fedora tarballs provided on nspawn.org do not have working package managers. There are no dnf/yum/rpm inside.

Yes, this is something I have to have a look on.. I guess I just need to modify the post-install script for fedora and install dnf/yum/rpm manually. Funny that the mkosi team don't ship a package manager on default

PRs are btw welcome ;)

mkosi files seem to support installing packages, as in the file below:
