From my understanding Yast is retiring because a lot of the codebase is unmaintained.
The replacement for yast is Myrlyn and cockpit.

As already explained in countless threads, even by the maintainer, Myrlyn is a replacement for one single YaST module: YaST Software (including repo management).

There where already a lot of threads regarding this topic.

I’d call “a lot” a euphemism.

yes some Yast module doesn’t have direct replacment or replacements that wasn’t written for openSUSE directly

maybe Myrln and cockpit and firewalld but what about the rest Yast was one of the tools that helped a lot and if it can be rewritten if it’s can’t be ma intend even if bit by bit until the yast be complete again that would be awesome

i know it’s hard i appreciate the hard work

i tried to search before posting maybe i didn’t use the right keywords

Since we are in the correcting, finger-pointing world of oS, I’d like to ask: What is it a euphemism for? “A lot”? LOL! A linguistical infinite loop! I think understatement does the job.

  1. Laziness (kidding).
  2. Use Tumbleweed until it disappears after updating.
  3. No replacement, but it will/has been replaced.

welcome to the forum

probably but the level of programing to the Yast i have huge appreciation to it
i would love if the the original; developers would develop replacement or at least the current maintainers

i don’t know if the current yast is beyond any way survive

as a programmer myself i have huge respect to people who built this stuff is anything but simple i would love to see modernized or rewritten to accommodate the modern world

for example the installer i can’t tell you how much i like it i can’t imagine agma replacing it
agma for me is downgrade of course i get the technical side why they had to retire it is just it’s sad
