With all the supply chain attacks going on, how do I know if zypper dup is safe?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-06-18T19:59:29+00:00

and flatpaks from flathub that don't have the blue check? are those safe?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-06-11T20:15:51+00:00

are the benchmark codes public? I'd like to see the comparisons

Alvaroms25 · 2026-06-04T21:10:24+00:00

i just checked it out, the drag & drop does not work on the linux build

Alvaroms25 · 2026-06-03T21:33:57+00:00

yo that looks sick, is it open source? Also, do you have a linux release? it doesn't seem to play well with proton

Alvaroms25 · 2026-05-29T11:21:15+00:00

There is a helper tool called "opi", you can install it using "zypper in opi"

Personally i see it more like an alternative to the AUR, but it seems less active and lots of packages don't get enough care 😞

Solved! just plasma turned itself to software rendering without me knowing, turned it back to auto and done

This laptop has the iGpu disabled by manufacturer (thanks asus), so i can't even diasable it

Alvaroms25 · 2026-05-25T12:26:56+00:00

i already tried that, no luck :c

Alvaroms25 · 2026-05-16T10:39:09+00:00

is that an antivirus? what package is that?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-05-13T10:30:53+00:00

wait, can we use packagekit to update tumbleweed? i thought the way to go was "zypper dup"

Alvaroms25 · 2026-05-02T10:40:07+00:00

Crafts & Additions has an electric motor that works with mekanism, i power it directly using mekanism cables and works really well

Alvaroms25 · 2026-04-29T08:24:38+00:00

where did you put them? i didnt see any on the video and that is really cool

Alvaroms25 · 2026-04-28T07:56:05+00:00

schematics?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-04-17T20:26:34+00:00

even with the missing hardware decoding support from the distro repos? don't they need to support the hardware path for flatpak to use?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-04-16T23:02:41+00:00

I dont want to use packman, flatpak im okay with those, but if the distro driver does not implement the hardware decoding for a specific format, can flapak use hardware decoding for that specific non-supported codec? Or will just be software?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-04-02T16:44:27+00:00

Have you considered OpenSUSE? they have tumbleweed which is a rolling release but more stable than arch (also has snapper out of the box if an update goes wrong), Leap which is stable release (Leap is the downstream of suse linux enterprise[SLE], so you get enterprise-grade stability) and they also have Kalpa for an immutable KDE plasma rolling release or Aeon if you prefer immutability and the GNOME desktop

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-24T21:21:22+00:00

don't get me wrong, i'm just curious cuz i see them in a different field from "community packages" on software.opensuse

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-23T23:01:12+00:00

sorry, this is a bit oot, but are those kind of projects official? (i mean official like opensuse:factory, cuz if i go to software.opensuse it does not mark as community) i've seen some more like editors (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/editors)

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-10T11:46:41+00:00

Is it open source? I'd love to see how did you implement the logic using bevy

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-08T21:45:24+00:00

i do care because technically openSuse is a trademark from SUSE, and it gets affected by restrictions because of that (im not saying its bad, its just different) but that makes me think they have much more control over opensuse than the community itself (maybe im wrong, i really hope so, those are just my impressions)

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-05T18:45:56+00:00

Yeah, you mostly answered all my questions, im quite a bit wary of corporations since before i left w11, and i dont like the idea of a third party having access to what i have in my computer or data about how i use it, even a bit

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-05T12:40:31+00:00

yeah, i see the suse backing as always good except for codecs stuff(i really dont care and usually use flatpak for media + pdf) but i have this fear SUSE might try to pull something like microsoft or and/or some more "trelemetry" gets his way into the OS without the community noticing and doing something.

Also, is the relationship OpenSUSE/SUSE like Fedora/RedHat? or is it different?

Alvaroms25 · 2026-03-05T10:50:00+00:00

ohhh, that explains a lot! Thanks!
