+### Using DNF instead of Zypper
+If you want to, you can use [DNF](https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:DNF) instead of Zypper.
+To do this, change the content of `~/.config/opi/config.json` so that it looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "backend": "dnf"
+}
+```
+
+If you want to go back to Zypper, just change the value of `backend` back to `zypp`.
