OSC VS opi

I use the CNMAT OSC library for ESP<->X32 comms and it works well. OSC is how the mobile apps/X-edit control the console, so you can change just about every parameter on the thing.

Another option to the ones you list is to use some firmware on the microcontroller, like the Arduino's Firmata, or OSC for Arduino, so that it can be controlled in real-time by a computer.

The software ended up being pretty simple in the end, but it took a lot of trial and error to get there. There are a bunch of OSC libraries for Arduino and I tried them all! This is the library I settled on: https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC

You can have a look at this Arduino lib: https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC

This is incorrect. It also installs a set list of packages.

Have you looked into OPI? This allows you to easily search and install community packages from the Open Build System similarly to how it is with working with yay on Arch. It very likely does not contain things like git packages or fonts but it can be pretty useful for packages like ckb-next and since it pulls from the OBS it is always guaranteed to be a binary, no compilation necessary

As of this writing, opi performs the following operations behind the curtains (see here for reference):

opi will implement a workaround in https://github.com/openSUSE/opi/pull/120 which will force the ffmpeg version on tumbleweed to be >=5.

OPI is your friend. You don't have to update every day...once a week or so is fine. Set up multiversion for kernels. A lot of times if a vendor offers a Fedora RPM and not openSUSE, the Fedora RPM will work fine. If you are using Nvidia, wait to update kernels... that's all I can think of. Use and update the wiki as needed, it's a good resource, but can get outdated.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's using Packman https://github.com/openSUSE/opi

OPI is also useful for finding other packages that aren't in the regular repos

The easiest way to install software is with OPI, you can also search with Zypper or YaST. Generally, if you can find an RPM file built for Fedora, you can install it on Tumbleweed as well - I'm sure there are exceptions.
