But if you're a beginner, a tool like this can really lower the barrier to entry. There are probably other reasons as well, but none that I'm aware of.

Datum: 27.07.2026 15:19:22 Hi, Soon I will have to change my main computer from OS 15.6 to 16.0. I'm=20 asking because I am not completely sure if I missed something and want=20 to do it right with the machine that's most important for my daily work. There is a "migration tool" but I read of a lot of problems with it. So I just updatet a fully (except /boot) encrypted Laptop directly from 15.5 (not 15.6) to 16.0 the easy "classic" way: - deactivated packman and deleted all other repos except repo-oss and=20 repo-non-oss. - as root: zypper --releasever=3D16.0 ref - as root: zypper --releasever=3D16.0 dup There were like 50 "problems" which I solved using one of the offered=20 options (mostly No. 1) after the download and install: - activated packman repo - as root: zypper dup --from packman --allow-vendor-change - added Mozilla and Showimage repo, for latest firefox and the very=20 useful showimage app, and installed the desired This all went smoothless and as much as I can see it just works. Now that was so easy and without any problems that I wonder what the=20 migrations tool could be good for. As it obviously exists I wonder if I missed something with my update that I will find out only later and=20 would be important when I update my main PC? Or was my simple way just=20 the way I should also go with my main computer? Please enlighten me.
