I almost got used to it and accepted zypper for it’s ease of use and features. But MAN…a week ago or so they turbocharged the shit out of zypper.
That multi-file download and basically full WAN speed on my side across several hundred packages (I update around twice a week) is really satisfying to see, especially because it was a usual complaint and I certainly wasn’t the only one. I got really jealous about pacman and also dnf being way faster.
NO MORE!
Much love to the SuSE and Tumbleweed team!
Small QoL all things considered…but just feels great.
Wow… I didn’t notice that but after just running updates it was quite clear!
I usually run them and go do something else for a few minutes, so it didn’t register before. But that’s huge difference in downloading speed.
I don’t have new updates to run on a Leap 15.6 machine, but I expect that it is a thing for Tumbleweed only for now. I should check if they put it in the Leap 16 beta, would be a great update to include there.
