Yeah, liking zypper so far, except that it decided I must have forgotten to install the games and kde-games patterns which I deselected during install because I’ll never use them (my games are pretty much all on steam, I’ve got no real interest in the built-in ones). Blocked them but now it’s warning me about that every time I update, which is a bit obnoxious, but I’m sure I’ll either figure it out or learn to not care about that
Maybe I can help! I’m sure somebody knows a slick CLI way, but I know that using YAST Package Manager (or maybe the new and fancy Myrlin), you can see what version of packages are installed and from which repo.
If it’s available in the standard SUSE open repo, you can just switch to that.
Also, you can go to that open repo and there’s an option at the top that says “Switch all packages to this repository” or something like that. Then you can probably safely remove KDE-Games if you don’t want it.
The KDE-Games repo sometimes will have drivers or game related tools and things like that, but no, I don’t think it’s strictly necessary if there’s nothing in it you want.
Alias na=“Sudo nala upgrade -y”
Does update and upgrade with parallel downloads from fast high bandwidth repos and pretty colors 😍
Dammit, learning about this right after switching from Mint to OpenSuSE
Honestly great switch though. OpenSUSE is lovely and I bet you’ll like Zypper. :)
Definitely make sure you know how to use BTRFS Snapper rollbacks and always
zypper dup(not up) on Tumbleweed!Also the community is great.

Whelp. Dang. Guess I know what I’m trying on my Ubuntu & Debian VMs next :D
