As someone who also switched from debian-based, the commands are pretty easy to pickup. Instead of apt-get upgrade you have zypper dup, and instead of apt-get install you have zypper install. Have fun with it!
Another very useful command, if you are searching for python packages for example (they get installed via zypper not pip), is zypper se “package name” to search for packages in your repos
Also don’t forget the --clean-deps flag when uninstalling a package with zypper to remove unneeded dependencies, for example “sudo zypper rm --clean-depts package_name”

Yeah need to get used to that then, I came from Debian so very used to apt.

Just wanted to say that zypper search works too, it might be easier to remember fore some people.
Thanks, I totally didn’t thought about that 😃
