When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general. Do I have to wait for sometime before updating using dup or can I use the packman modules of mesa with updated versions of the mesa modules provided officially¿? Are their dependcy issues for software sourced from packman.
I’ve found it best to avoid the pacman repo. It can leave my system in such a weird inbetween state. Seeing as you mostly want codecs I tend to prefer flatpaks for VLC, Firefox, etc.
If you insist on pacman, just wait. If you try to dup and have a conflict it means that either pacman or suse repos aren’t all updated so hold on a few days and you should be able to dup with no issues.
But don’t you need the mesa version with the codecs inbuilt for hardware decoding with a AMD card¿?
Nope, it seems to just work!
