Dear TDE users,
I was wondering whether anyone has installed openSUSE 16.0 along with TDE. What is your experience so far (in particular with openSUSE 16.0)? Does openSUSE 16.0 still support RPM?
Thanks!
Gianluca

I have not used SUSE for years, but I probably will test Leap 16 when I have time.
Don't know if SUSE TDE needs to be release specific, in which case Leap 16 is not supported yet.
As to RPM, it would seem yes ("Myrlyn is the software manager for openSUSE Leap since openSUSE Leap 16, replacing the YaST Software. Myrlyn handles RPM package management and online updates.")

Roughly half my dozens of openSUSE installations have TDE. 3 of 7 16.0s have TDE, the other 4 KDE3. TDE is no different on openSUSE than on Debian, Fedora, or Mageia. Ubuntu has some obvious theme differences from the others, but works the same. Like any other rpm distro, openSUSE is committed to it, but with zypper as the primary higher level package manager rather than YUM, DNF, URPMI or a few others. In the openSUSE repos are also aptitude, dnf and dpkg, none of which I've tried in openSUSE in too long to remember.
