Both are essentially the same. The pip executable uses the pip module.
HOWEVER…
You should never run either as root on a Fedora system that you expect to ever
use “dnf” on at a later point. Pip can and will install libraries that can
break OS tools that are written in python (such as dnf). Not only that, but the
RPM database won’t know about the new or updated libraries, causing general
confusion.
If you want to install extra modules, use the “venv” module to create a
separate python environment to install into, which doesn’t replace system
libraries. It’s fairly painless and you can have multiple environments,
activated on demand.
