Did another Mac thing! After a false start last night, #OpenSuse#MicroOS is now up and running. And it's blummin' fast for an old girl.
Best part is, it turns out the fastest processor this Mac can take is like £15-20 on eBay. That plus a bit of extra RAM will make this into a tidy little performer. (Not a Performa, sadly.) (Also not that little.)
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
A new country has emerged in the top 5 of #openSUSE usage the past six months: USA leads with 31%, followed by Germany (12.4%), Brazil (6.5%), UK (5.4%), and Russia (5.1%). 🇬🇧 Made leap into the fourth position. #opensource#Linuxhttps://get.opensuse.org/
Day 300. #2YearLinuxChallenge is nearing the year mark. Still loving #openSUSE. I don't think I'll make it to the year mark before doing a fresh install, though. I may try to just clean out some of my packages manually and see if I can clean up that way without nuking and paving. Then I can keep this install.
#opensuse#aeon is like a 3gb ISO and it’s basically a bare gnome desktop. I can get a 3gb liveslak and ship all the ap/ & l/ sets of Slackware AND use native package managers to maintain it with. Aeon didn’t even have nano installed. What the hell is on that ISO? 😂 I really want to map it all out and see if I can make a comparable live system. Ya know, for funsies.
I’ve just moved my workstations from #NixOS to #opensuse. Not because of the ruccus in the community or any political views (well… maybe a little, but because I want to enjoy computing, not be bombarded with negativity), but because it ate up too much of my time. 1 theming issue last night took me all night to iron out, and it’s just too much at this point. I love #NixOS on the server, but I’m moving back to “plain old” tumbleweed. (Thx @thelinuxcast …)
