Package manager?

Hello, I'm trying to use blazzite as a gaming box, and then when on the side or not gaming run a terraria and mincecraft servers.

I've been working my way through this and I can see that dnf exists (just typing dnf shows its there and subcommands). I figured this was what fedora used so I've been trying it. However, whenever I try to use it in the command line it just doesn't exist. I can't add repos or anything with it. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing.

On some of the errors it says to use yum, so I tried using yum, but it throws the same error that subcommands don't work.

Am I just going in the wrong direction? I thought bazzite was fedora, so that's what I've been doing. Am I dumb and should be reading up on something else.
Solution
dnf does not exist on fedora atomic and it even says so when you run it.
it is just a link to
rpm-ostree
rpm-ostree
which should be used as a last resort when whatever you install needs tight integration with the system (ex: VPN clients) but at the sacrifice of longer update times.

also documentation exists which will answer all your questions.

the priority for what to use to install programs goes this way from left being highest priority
