Hello fellow lemmings! Fedora KDE user here, and quite happy about it, it didn’t break a single time and packages are up to date. The only thing that bother me is DNF’s speed… a single search may take up to 5 seconds, and if I’m dependency-hunting I may need several searches, summing up the delays. I’m asking if switching to openSUSE Tumbleweed could be a good idea or not. The idea of the rolling release is really intriguing, whole system upgrades always makes me nervous, and zypper, being written in C++, should be faster than DNF.
I would stick to Wayland KDE, as my current fedora setup.
Other than this, I don’t see any other obvious pros or cons, so I’m asking you: why should I switch and why shouldn’t I? any tips from someone who used both?
thanks in advance!
Sadly Zypper isn’t really faster. From my experience, pacman is really the best package manager. But if you still want to try Opensuse. There’s also Leap. It’s a stable release distro, though it mostly uses LTS ⁄ stable software as it’s a clone of SUSE enterprise, while Fedora mostly gets cutting edge software when a new release hits.
I was thinking about tumbleweed intead of leap because of its rolling nature
