It isn’t super stable, but it has super cow powers!
I like Zypper. When there’s a conflict, Zypper tells me I can keep obsolete packages, or break the system, or uninstall something. I’ve yet to nuke my system with Zypper, despite there often being conflicts.
Of course since I use OpenSuSE (Tumbleweed), it also has btrfs with snapshots enabled by default. So while I haven’t nuked the system because of anything like that, there’s been one or two times when a nvidia driver update among the other packages nuked my GUI. So I just went and loaded a previous snapshot, and tried updating again later.
I’ve used other cool package managers (heheheh Portage), but I think Zypper is the most user-friendly
@squaresinger but it stable trying remove unrelated software when installing steam or 32-bit software. Installing steam caused DE removal even more then ten years ago
@squaresinger @boonhet typical apt…
It kinda is, isn’t it? Apt isn’t super stable.
