Thank you for your answers, hui! I’m feeling a little bit more relieved now. Have a nice day!
I have one question, for simple users like me, will the day comes when a zypper dup will quietly remove Yast and install Cockpit? or should I decide to just install Cockpit and just ignore Yast? If that’s the case will it be left to me to decide when to remove Yast.
It’s the default.
You can already use them alternatingly: YaST sw_single, Myrlyn, Cockpit, and of course zypper. There is no need to uninstall any of them to use one of the others.
On Tumbleweed and Slowroll, one day YaST will be removed because something stopped working, and nobody wants to maintain it. It’s a good idea to learn how to use the alternatives before that day arrives. And maybe (probably) you might like those alternatives even better.
Tooting my own horn: Try Myrlyn.

@shundhammer Thanks, will begin to look at Cockpit. I have already tried Myrlyn and it has been ok.
For me, the killer feature of Yast is the partitioner which has never failed on me. Complex setups with or without LVM/encryption/bcache have always worked. I hope this functionality will be in agama as well and as a stand-alone tool as well, for the occasional need of repartitioning an already installed system.

I installed Cockpit. There is no option in KDE menu to launch Cockpit.
It should be already well known that Cockpit is a web application which is simply startet in a browser…
So a bookmark in your browser should suffice.
…double post…deleted…
“well known” for you, not me.
what is the url ?
It’s a standard to launch any tool with a launcher in KDE menu.
I get an app with a web interface. The installation of this app installs a launcher in KDE menu.
It’s not a big problem. Here is an example.
@promeneur https://en.opensuse.org/Main:Cockpit
Or like me run the Flatpak version and see (On GNOME)…
thanks for the doc.
You musy enable the service and set firewalld.
The installation is not for Mr Jo. This must be done by the installation of the package.

yast out ? that is weird
it was the only distro with a controlpanel equivalent of m$ to ease the switch of non IT users.
I dig vi but “I” have to have a distro that I can recommend to others and go away from m$.
unless they hook modules in the kde-control center … not a bad idea , but for gtk/gnome users … byebye
Nonsense. Cockpit ( either distro or flatpak ) does the job fine for system configuration. Both GNOME and KDE have their tools for a lot of those. Myrlyn is the “new” YaST Software & Repo Manager.
cockpit is like a “trillion” modules away for the latest yast2 ones.
if cockpit has a native GUI or even an Ncurses interface why not, but yet, running a webserver to configure some things , is just too much.
I am really “complaining” because this is a regression toward non IT users.
