I know there are apt, smart, zypper and maybe even more. But I'd like to know which one is the "official" tool that is installed by default on every suse system. to manage already downloaded package, the basic comand line tool is rpm, but better use yast, it works on console, using ncurse.

r/openSUSE on Reddit: Is easy package management possible in openSUSE?
September 15, 2021 -

So well, I have been using Arch Linux for a veery long time now and got used to ridiculously easy package management with AUR helper "yay". I just type "yay [package_name]" and no matter where it is, if it's available for Arch, it installs.
But now, since my company is hosting servers on openSUSE, I decided to try and make a switchj. All is great, but zypper doesn't seem to have all packages I need, I see a snap option, a flatpak option, packman option and this is just overwhelming. Too much package managers was the reason I left Ubuntu.

Is there something similar to yay and AUR in openSUSE? Where I type one command (or use one gui tool) and install software, no matter if I need to use zypper, snap, flatpak, or any hellish bs there is.
