For some reason, zypper & YaST are not fully appreciated, the meme "apt is better than rpm" is rather entrenched, and repeated by Magazine journalists. When I actually did my evaluation, I was shocked by Debian's issues with over-lapping tools, non-unified dependency calculations causing gotcha's, and noted the user base, weren't switching over to the recommended tool (aptitude) but using CLI.
That was misleading, aptitude is a CLI & curses based tool. Most were using the apt form of commands, due to weight of HOWTOs and habits. The live updating of desktop, like KDE appeared to work less well than it does in OS, but those discussing the issues just "knew that rpm distros would be worse", and they'll not find out the real facts, as the commnities tend to be closed and self reinforcing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
