With a mix of official openSUSE repos and other repos in Tumbleweed, the biggest problem is that the packages may change vendor between those repos without notice, and the risk is that this could break the basic packages from TW at lesat. I'd suggest to prevent changing the vendor for packages with: $ zypper -v dup --no-allow-vendor-change
Additionally, you could reduce the risk of mixing by updating only from the oS:TW repos.
Have a nice day, Berny
All good suggestions from everyone, thanks. I am glad to know that people have had positive long term experiences with TW. On the latest update I just did with TW, it broke my Microsoft Teams application, which I use for work, and it is really hard to figure out what exactly went wrong. Fortunately, there is an alternative Teams app called Teams-Insiders, which basically is the same thing as Teams. It is really kind of weird, because Teams and Teams-Insiders are the same, even the same version, so they are supposed to be identical, but Teams won't load, while Teams-Insiders will load. Of course those are non-oss apps from Microsoft, but I don't have a choice as our company has gone with Teams. That is only 1 small example, and I haven't had any other problems, so I will continue to use TW. -- George Box: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 15.2 | Plasma 5 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: TW | Plasma 5 | Core i7 | 64 | 16GB
