No, I don't think so. openSUSE and SUSE use zypper + libzypp instead of dnf and iirc zypper is lighter on memory usage (but lacks the more "fancy" features like `dnf repoquery`). Also, the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository is smaller than the Fedora repository (and only contains the latest rebuilds, i.e. even less metadata). I am not 100% sure about Leap though, as I have heard horror stories about the size of the Leap Update repository size (the repository contains every package build for the whole release)… _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
