What are packages openSUSE-repos-MicroOS and openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA?
Devs, Recently there have been posts about removing openSUSE-repos-XXX to improve mirror performance and allow listing additional mirrors in the baseurl= option. What are these packages and why or why not to remove them? Why can't I just add the nvidia repo as a normal repo as we have always done? What is the benefit of these -repo packages? -- David C.

You can.
What is the benefit of these -repo packages?
What is the benefit of DNS compared to local /etc/hosts?

That explains it, done: For bash, you can improve the restore from /etc/zypp/repos.d as: # for i in *rpmsave; do mv "$i" "${i%.rpmsave}"; done; unset i

You can.
Hopefully somebody will get around to updating the nvidia packages to support the Linux 6.10 kernel for Tumbleweed in the official repo before 6.11 is released... ;) Repos updated and refresh times greatly improved without the openSUSE-repos-xxx rpms installed. There are issues with that scheme and US mirrors.. About to dupe and we will see how it goes. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
