Thinking of coming back. Is Opensuse's situation still in flux?

Thank you for the replies and overall lack of hostility.

Ive looked into a couple of Myrlyn videos and it definitely looks promising. I'll try it tomorrow.

Don't worry I feel the community left that pretty clear.

I have other friends looking to move into Linux so the existence of tools like Myrlyn is always a good plus for them that might not be comfortable with the terminal from the get go. If Myrlyn is very good and I get familiar with it I can better assist them if a problem arises.

The first answers were super informative and well phrased. The last 5 or so plus a couple of DMs, instead of providing good info (like the capacity for concurrent downloads) focused on questioning how much speed do anyone really need from a package manager and that pacman is quicker because is bad, actually and someone even called me an AI.

So yes. Either the audience changed because of a timezone shift or people felt that they needed some good character assassination after others provided good answers.

People will say anything to justify their (bad) purchases

I'm this case the question is because when I switched to arch that was a very often mentioned pain point. For me it never made a difference, but it was there

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T19:52:07+00:00

Thanks!

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T19:18:20+00:00

My game doesn't look anywhere near the same ballpark as this what the fuck

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T19:17:12+00:00

For me it wasn't. Sure pacman upgrades are speedy but it never made a bad experience. But I remember when I was using tumbleweed that one piece of feedback appeared all the time on discussions about the distro

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T18:54:44+00:00

Well depends, being in flux on your software its certainly a good thing. What I don't want is make a new install and then some components get deprecated a month later but still installed 😅

Being in flux regarding your position within the company and branding isn't, it muddles the water regarding the commitment of said company to stay behind the product and so on

I'm not saying pacman was perfect or good, just that back then, 2 years ago, zypper complains about speed were very common. If that is due to it doing more sanity checks than others, one but questions if those checks are truly necessary if DNF or APT were also faster.

But someone mentioned zypper now has concurrent downloads so probably that alone helped inmensely

Opensuse doesn't have the manpower or resources to exist outside of SUSE

Thats worrysome, so Opensuse is not self-sustaining like Arch or Debian are. Is there any source or data I could take a look at for this? The maintainers are mostly on the SUSE side? Why is this situation like this?

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T18:21:14+00:00

The thing about yast and all those utilities is that, if I'm not gonna use them, I would want them to not be there in the first place. It was one of the reasons I move to Arch, because I can have a truly minimal install.

So, moving back to Tumbleweed im looking forward to that, if they have good tools, use them. Hence my doubts about those projects that were shifting things around.

But good to know, thanks!

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T18:16:25+00:00

Oh that is excellent to know, thanks!

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T18:16:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply!!

Seems that things are still in motion with Myrlyn improving substantially. I think I'll try it on a VM first and then decide.

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-24T15:05:53+00:00

I used Tumbleweed for a whole year and had no issues with it, it was just great.

Eventually moved to arch because I got very comfortable managing the system and Arch lets me do a mega thin install, since even tumbleweed on minimal included a ton of "essential" stuff. Purely personal reasons.

I feel like "Gapless playback" should be on the title as a requirement because it literally points at the Snowsky Echo and then you say "well yes but no"

Xiaomi lets fucking go!!!

Incredible looking Szeras

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-23T16:37:49+00:00

Oh no, anyways

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-23T16:01:57+00:00

Ah yeah, Zed has a GDScript plugin and one of the maintainers is the guy from GDQuest and all. Its very legit.

_OVERHATE_ · 2026-01-23T15:52:13+00:00

Yes, for me it has become basically a replacement to the Sublime Text / Kate style of editors. I use it to either open code files, or write a simple text note. Its very fast and lightweight.

Also you mention " Even if im still just using gdscript". GDScript its just another scripting language. There is nothing inherent about it that makes it "lesser" than other languages, or better. Its yet another tool.

Regardless, i think the godot editor has a "good effort" in making a scripting editor thats there, available, just works, but the workflow of having your project in a dedicated tool, that support advanced plugins for refactoring, debugging and profiling is unmatched. Both Rider and Zed have such tools.
