Looking for a cheat sheet for Tumbleweed with basic commands and ideally their *deb/*buntu equivalent (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm coming for a *deb/*buntu world and I would find useful if I have a cheat sheet for Tumbleweed with the most basic commands and especially if there is something that correlates them with commands I'm already familiar.

For example that # zypper up replaces # apt upgrade

I have already found a cheat sheet for zypper here https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage#Cheat_sheet so I'm looking for something that includes more stuff than just zypper. Or is zypper the main difference? I mean (I'm completely new on opensuse) other stuff, like restarting services, or default location of config files, or how to do other basic low level actions, I'm not sure if they are different, but if yes, looking for such relation-map.

Hope it makes sense what I'm asking, thanks in advance

I'd say zypper is the biggest difference. BTW for package management only there's also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta

Arch Wiki is just brilliant, even when using different distributions.

https://software.opensuse.org/packages for searching packages that aren't in your activated repos, and steps to activate the one that contains them.

Thanks, I had a look and I wanted to ask even though it is kinda obvious but I want to confirm about the "community packages". Who is building them? The word community implies that it may be a community behind them but the naming system suggests that they are personal repos (and most probably not checked). What is the case?
