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!
Clearly you haven't used void Linux if pacman is the fastest package manager you've seen, xbps is crazy fast
I have not. My fear with void is that I may run into plentiful issues where when I follow documentation tailored to the popular package managers that I am obligated to think and make decisions which I use all available effort to avoid. My battery supplying power to make choices on things is critically low due to having two kids under 5 so I have pigeon holed myself into using something I can reasonably expect people to have already done the work for me. Ignore that I am on arch and a walking contradiction. I have built my own cage forged of the irons of rolling distribution preference.
