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!

    Sorry for the somewhat unrelated question: how’s been your OpenSUSE experience with drivers, especially for Nvidia cards, touchpads, thunderbolt, trackpoints (if any), and with hi-res screen (if it applies)?

    I’ve been thinking of giving it a try and was going to ask some of these questions in some forum. But maybe this is a good place to start as any.

    Thank you for the informative post in any case!
