CentOS Stream 8/9

In terms of security, anyone have any pitfall notes for CentOS Stream 8 or 9 ?

And what's up with powertools, can't seem to get that repo enabled, looking to install a KDE.

# dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Originally it could be --set-enabled PowerTools
... so please try with both {powertools and PowerTools}.

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

That's where something is not right. No repo for powertools or PowerTools, this was the err message for past 3 days.

Today, boot the OS, do a dnf and it does not err. Weird, I made no changes.

But now a new err

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# dnf group list
