Hello fellow lemmings! Fedora KDE user here, and quite happy about it, it didn't break a single time and packages are up to date. The only thing that bother me is DNF's speed... a single search may take up to 5 seconds, and if I'm dependency-hunting I may need several searches, summing up the delays. I'm asking if switching to openSUSE Tumbleweed could be a good idea or not. The idea of the rolling release is really intriguing, whole system upgrades always makes me nervous, and zypper, being written in C++, should be faster than DNF.
I would stick to Wayland KDE, as my current fedora setup.
Other than this, I don't see any other obvious pros or cons, so I'm asking you: why should I switch and why shouldn't I? any tips from someone who used both?
thanks in advance!
Fastestmirror isn't generally recommended, there's a reason it's not default. it bases it on ping time which isn't necessarily the best download speed, and it doesn't take into account bandwidth.
Increasing maximum parallel downloads can result in faster download speeds, but this isn't the problem with DNF slowness that OP is reporting.
