The formats are probably much of a muchness, but the default tools for interactive RPM selection sent me reaching for the titanium sporks. (Whereas I always found dselect quite congenial, and its successor aptitude likewise.)

Is there a deb-based distro release using systemd as its default PID 1 yet?

I wonder what you mean by "default tools for interactive RPM selection"? Have you ever tried YaST?

Briefly. I've got a machine with OpenSUSE installed, but I don't actually use it. I seem to remember finding it significantly less congenial than aptitude or dselect.

The alternative you aren't acustomed to use to the point that the fingers know how to do common tasks will seem a lot less congenial. Nothing very surprising there.
