STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Be a newcomer and distro hopper and try to do something common, such as
installing/removing/updating something.

OBSERVED RESULT
It will be very confusing, and require a lot of Googling or even AI, which
shouldn't be the case.

EXPECTED RESULT
When typing "sudo dnf " there should be a few suggestions under it, like "s=
udo
dnf install packagename" and "sudo dnf remove packagename".
In case the command is wrong (mostly due to distro hopping), it could should
the correct command, like "sudo apt-get install packagename" in case the us=
er
is using Kubuntu.
That would make the terminal more flashy/intuitive for newcomers.
