From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not using Fedora.
Bazzite is based on Fedora so most/all Fedora stuff will work
dnf does not.

I'd also Google how to add the repo you need.
The only distros I've found that carry the broadcom drivers at install are the Ubunto families
I know how to use rpm-ostree but thank you.
I don't use Google.
Saying "use a search engine" is not helpful. I've already done that.
Can you add the repo and then use whatever package manager you have to install the drivers from it?
Fedora uses RPM packaging format and
dnfis just a front-end for that. Atomic variants of Fedora and uBlue distros (they are based on the former) userpm-ostree, which also works with RPM.Also, please stop being so confident in your stance when you don't know much about Linux or your distribution of choice. People are here to help you only out of kindness and not obligation.
I already know all of that.
