I just installed TW this weekend, and besides setting up some extra repos for things like proprietary nVidia drivers, I haven't done much with it outside web browsing as of now, but I hope to test it as a daily driver over the coming weeks. I'm coming from daily driving Mint for 2 years and running CachyOS for the last month (before the instability became too much of a hassle to fix constantly), so SUSE is very new to me.

I'm curious about the best practice for performing regular updates - I see a lot of people on older posts saying to only ever use zypper dup, while some more recently say Myrlyn is fine now (since they both use the same back end). With every update to TW being a snapshot (in my understanding, still very new to SUSE), does that necessitate zypper dup over updating packages with Myrlyn?

What about for finding new packages? I used Myrlyn to install the steam and its dependencies along with the nVidia G07 driver packages - is that generally safe to do?
