laughs in Tumbleweed with texlive
Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you're fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.
It actually works perfectly, i just hit it on Friday mornings when i remember and it is done in 15 min or so. I love Tumbleweed
I do this with arch too and there's no issues. I spent 1 month without updating once because life is a bitch and it updated just fine. 1k updates sure, but meh.
IIRC they ship security updates immediately.
You must've caught my comment shortly before I snuck that "non-security" into there. 🙃
I installed a KDE latex math tool that came with texlive as a dependency. Shit's awful when doing updates.
I ended up uninstalling the tool and texlive, and installed tinytex instead. I then tabood texlive and reinstalled the tool from software.opensuse.org as the YAST GUI allows you to ignore dependencies.
It works in the KDE tool and in one note taking app with latex math support, but I haven't tried adding new packages yet. I don't know how good of a solution this would be if you use latex outside of just rendering a couple of equations, but it could be worth a shot
