Are packmans like pacmans or zypper or---------------
im so confused sorry
Hmm. “packman” is a site that maintains some packages, as used by openSUSE users and others.
If I recall, “pacman” is the package manager for Arch and a few other distros. I’m not sure whether it is also the name of a video game.
So is packman just like the ppa repositories in ubuntu?
No, the packman repo is more similar to the Restricted repo that Ubuntu provides…

ohh. Thank you, makes sense 
I think that when you see “pacman” here in the openSUSE forums, then that is in 99% of the cases just a typo of people who wanted to type “Packman”.
Yeah , most of my confusion started with when searching about packman and many of the results were about pacman and many forums and reddit pacman and packman were confused :
when i typed packman search engine always autocorrects it to pacman 
Lousy search engine >:)
I just tested them
Google , DuckduckGo , Bing and Yandex all of them autocorrect >:(
I don’t observe that here. Perhaps it depends on your browser language setting?
On the Google search for Packman I get mostly results for an Ortlieb backpack. rotfl!
LOL
An interesting read…
