But OpenSUSE not have apt-get
1 comments

Having used both zypper and apt-get, I find the latter very lacking, even when coupled with other tools.

Take `zypper se -s`, for example - or if you prefer the long form, `zypper search --detailed`. How do you get that information from any of the apt tools, or even aptitude?

And then there's the openSUSE build system.

But I digress. I will attempt to replace my openSUSE installation with NixOS and if I miss my automatic KF5 builds, I'll try to create Nix packages for them.

Off Topic:

Zypper is by far my favorite package manager and find apt-get and company a PAIN. apt-cache search foo UGH!
