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!

    Could be the newer kernel or the prolific enterprise support. Hard for me to say. My main gripes with OpenSUSE usually occur with Nvidia so it is probably safe to say my real issue is with Nvidia which regrettably controls AI stacks and Laptop GPUs with a vice. Yes yes I know you can run ML using AMD but it is a second class citizen with the poorly maintained docs.
