    Ah, OpenSuse. The distro with the package management that spams your drive full of unnecessary optional dependencies.

    Would always recommend EndeavourOS.

      Sadly true. When I installed texlive-base it tried to install like 300 recommended packages, I almost accepted D:

      I’d still recommend it, I don’t know if you can change the default for recommended packages because aside from that, I actually love it.

        Yesss! My first five minutes with OpenSuse.

        I mean, you can change that behaviour somehow. But there are so many other small things like the constant vendor changes. Zypper is just so quirky. It’s a cool distro and to have a rolling release option like tumbleweed is always a big plus in my opinion, but I just wouldn’t recommend it to people who are not really eager to play around with their distro.
