@thelinuxEXP I switched from Fedora to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed half a year ago. That was some kind of "back to the origins" as OpenSUSE was one of the two distros I discovered back in the days with Mandriva.
I really appreciate the stability and tooling given by OpenSUSE. One thing to mention too is its very strong community: answers on their forum usually come very fast :)
I also migrated half of my server VMs to openSUSE, it works great on server-side too.
it's my daily driver along with Windows (for development purposes, not to "play Destiny 2" hehe), and I see no reason to move away from it.
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse Just tested it, the installer even allowed me not to install a bootloader. I'm impressed. In 30 min, with #stow, I was back in business, all my apps were there and running. (Even with an #nvidia card) Good job @opensuse
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse
Thanks for the reminder to check out opensuse. Right after your video I installed tumbleweed plasma on my main PC and I'm pleasantly surprised. Funny thing, suse was the first Linux distribution I ever used back in school around 20 years ago.
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse
Yeah I also tried Opensuse on a VM recently, but was turned off when the default settings didn't get me a bootable system.
I also recall attempting to daily drive it once (a while ago) but found the security settings to be much more stricter than what I'm used to. I ended up switching since that and it just felt like I needed to tweak a bunch of settings to get it to work my way. I'm sure its great for most people though.
Nice to see the gecko getting some love. FWIW, there's a new web-based installer currently being developed with a much sleeker and modern interface. No idea when it'll be ready though https://github.com/openSUSE/agama
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed with the #gnome desktop environment on my main machine a couple of days ago, due to some people recommending it to me on a post I made. It has been a pretty amazing experience so far, specially since I started out with #archlinux and was used to reinstall my system a few times a year. Even on my machine, that is supposed to run Windows, it has been working very well, battery life is a little better than Arch or other distros, and a few bugs it had with the likes of Manjaro and others are either absent or less of an headache. :meowaww:
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse I found #OpenSUSE to be a nice and useable distro, but I found Yast to be clunky and confusing. I really didn’t spend time learning its peculiarities and strengths because the outdated interface pushed me away to other distros that I already knew how to use.
Having complex controls hidden behind an “advanced” mode, similar to what Ultimaker Cura does, is something I think ALL distros and desktops could benefit from.
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse though I'm a massive @fedora advocate and will always recommend it, so glad to see OpenSUSE getting some love! I too have been running it for the past few months as a test
@RumbleArray@opensuse Yeah, I also remarked on that, but it’s easy to get rid of them if you don’t need them, so it’s not a big issue (apart from the size of the ISO)
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse Was pleasantly surprised when I tried tumbleweed last year. Rock solid, extremely up to date, and you can install RPMs on it! I’m back on Leap as of now, but if you’re in the market for a rolling release distro tumbleweed is the one to beat IMO.
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse I tried to use openSUSE some years ago, but ended up switching to other distro, because of some things that I didn't like. I wonder how much openSUSE has changed, thank you for that video :blobfoxhappy:
@thelinuxEXP@opensuse I thought you was on Fedora and happy there? I haven't heard anything about Opensuse for a while so it's nice to hear something :)
