  • I’ve been using Tumbleweed for almost a year now, and have had a great experience! Zypper is fine; cnf is a helpful utility that things like Debian / Fedora could certainly use (I know they have ways of searching too, but cnf is so simple).

    OPI has everything I’ve needed for 3rd party apps, so no complaints there.

    When I first installed Tumbleweed it was on an HP Elitebook, which gave me some grief with audio before I figured out a workaround, but after installing it on an X1 Carbon I can’t imagine using anything else for the foreseeable future. (It’s still installed on the Elitebook, I just never power it on any longer).

    All this to say, your experience hasn’t been great for you but for me it’s been fantastic. I run Debian on the self-hosted servers I run, but on my main machine Tumbleweed has been fantastic for me. I don’t even use or like YaST :D

    I find your comment is a bit off-putting as well - how would you respond if I said ‘NEVER USE ARCH’? My take is - tell people about your experiences, and let them decide for themselves. Why are you still using Tumbleweed if you’re ‘so against it’?

    With PowerShell on Linux you’d never run dnf starting with Invoke-Expression. It’s completely unnecessary.

    This feels like you either legitimately don’t know how it works so are assuming, or are making it more complicated on purpose to make bash look ‘better’.

    I’m not saying PowerShell should be used on Linux over bash, but your example is not a good one.
