I'm getting kinda tired of AI generated article pics
Great, now how about we get zypper up to the speed and standard of otger package managers (parallel downloads and just being faster in general, like dnf5, or just introduce a way to make dnf5 an option fot Tumbleweed) to take it to the place it needs to be? OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is great. When Matt from The Linux Cast said Tumbleweed is amazing, I believed him. When he said zypper was too slow, my reaction was "surely it's not that bad, right?". Wrong. It is SUPER slow. Can we get a way to set up dnf5 on it? Thank you.

Just install dnf5 from the repositories and you're good to go.
Wait, so installing dnf from the repos gives us dnf5? I had it!!! Whatever, I'm on NixOS now and I'm quite happy with it but I'll certainly keep that in mind if I ever decide to try Tumbleweed again.
Yup, it's as simple as that 🙂. That's the beauty of Linux. If something doesn't suit you, you have so many alternatives that you can try out.
Well, here I am reading this message as I find myself yet again frustrated at NixOS for beng so different and I'm looking towards Tumbleweed, thinking, "Maybe"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
