        How can I obtain a list of all packages currently installed on

    Don't need dnf...

    $ rpm -qa

    Which will likely be a lot, you can pipe to less to scroll or dump
    into a file for grepping or later use:

    $ rpm -qa | less
    $ rpm -qa > installed.txt


dnf list installed

Oops:

 dnf list installed|wc -l
3991
rpm -qa|wc -l
3840

Why this difference??

Line formatting in dnf command

Try this
dnf list --installed | awk -F" " ' { print $1 }' | grep -v @  |wc -l
