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!

    Sure could be. I calls them like I sees them. Appears fast as a user and I wish myself to never learn about how dependencies are managed. Just wanna slam my keyboard with pacman -Syu and watch that pacman cross the screen fast so I can feel something in my life is under control by watching progress bars go places. Hence my chronic distro hopping. So many loading bars.

    Anyways, I am sure I am wrong in creative ways. Just my experience for what it is worth.
