It is faster than dnf on Fedora.

i switched from arch just for snapper + grub implementation ootb. it's useful for people like me who want a rolling release distro but are not very tech savy or don't have time to fix if some update breaks something. otherwise arch is very good
Chase Nelson
I also switched from Arch. Personally, I don't think Arch can even compare

>rolling release I don't get the obsession. Is it really that hard to type in "upgrade" into terminal whenever a new release comes out?
Christopher Cox
It's about having up to date packages user. What don't you get about that?
Andrew Thompson
Who the fuck uses fedora? lol
Andrew Anderson
Fedora has up to date packages and it's not rolling release.

>>die of old age during a regular system update check your mirrors especially if you live in the us en.opensuse.org/MirrorCache
Some things are up to date, but on Tumbleweed EVERYTHING is up to date
Cameron Wilson
Thanks but I will be sticking to Xubuntu
Charles Sullivan
Funny, I still get "release candidate" packages for shit like DOSbox and Wine. I'm considering switching to RHEL so it's unlikely I'll understand the appeal for having the latest version of EVERYTHING anyway.
Owen Perez
why would you want to use latest libraries? upstream software doesn't test against latest libraries. firefox vendors every library for a reason.
Julian Lewis
>which it created
Andrew Torres
EPEL for RHEL are Fedora community packages. you will get the same versions for DOSbox and Wine in RHEL.
Christopher Peterson
Why wouldn't you? This is why openSUSE has openQA (unlike arch)
