From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still updating
Haha yeah, zypper is so damn slow. I thought about trying dnf in opensuse but didn't want to risk breaking my install.
Wait I thought DNF is the slow one. Is zypper even worse?
zypper is absolutely obsolete you don't have parallel downloads and it has to connect for each package so when you have 1.2GB install omg
edit: If you have more than 1000 packages to update/install you're in for a treat
APT doesn't have parallel downloads by default either. But in my case it's still 100 times faster than DNF, especially in terms of fetching. As I remember, once I had to wait for like 10 MINUTES to install htop on a Fedora live ISO. That's why I gave Fedora and DNF itself a big red DNF and started using Arch btw
And their zipp animation makes no sense if it is fast
