I recently checked my repos, because I was running into some Nvidia driver issues which I suspected was due to the driver repo updating. I noticed that all my repos were set to refresh. My memory could be wrong, but if I remember correctly I thought that not all of them were set to refresh when I first installed. Here is my zypper lr output:

Are there any repos where I should disable refresh? Also the packman and libdvdcss repos are there so I could run mp4s with my media player. I am constantly getting updates (~40 every couple of days) from these 2 repos for codecs and libraries that I don’t think I need. Would it be safe to disable or set the refresh to no for these?
Thanks
