[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1102528, member: 78686"] Yeah, they do get updates a lot though I haven't received too many big updates. Tumbleweed's updates are bigger than Arch for sure as they install recommended packages to give a more complete experience, I guess. Like I noticed while installing MPV, Tumbleweed tells you that it will also install the recommended package yt-dlp something which Arch won't install as it's optional and only needed if you want to play web videos on MPV. Installing of recommended packages can be disabled of course but they suggest not to if the extra packages are not consuming a lot of spaces. I also enabled BTRFS Compression at the time of installation which saves quite a lot of space, but it's not recommended if the CPU is older. Some expert Arch and Tumbleweed users say they usually update their system once a week, not every day. So that's one way to avoid frequent updates. [/QUOTE]
