Since 2022 it has been implied multiple times by the openSUSE Development, that openSUSE Leap was being discontinued. Then they said it wasn't being discontinued, but replaced. Once more, they said it wasn't being replaced, simply changed. Now lastly, they're saying it may remain, but either in 1 of 3 forms
Ever watch a TV network kill off a good TV show, because the new executive does not like it, but the fans keep hanging on?
I wish #SUSE/#openSUSE would just enable #dnf out of box for non-transactional variants. #zypper is comparatively slower/clunky and there's not a clearly unsolveable issue with their mutual co-existence. #Linux
Should I distro hop my work (!) machine to #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (and fight with its lack of polkit setup and "hurr durr durr just use the root password" attitude),
-- or --
Should I make a fair attempt at troubleshooting the problems I'm having with #EndeavourOS?
My login (selecting Plasma Wayland session) dumps me into an Xorg screen with 3 xterms. I then have to 'sudo systemctl restart sddm' and log in again...etc..
Look, if a community uses rainbow colors for their logo in support of Pride Month and LGBTIQA* folks, and you object to it because this is not welcoming of all "religions" and beliefs and cultures, and how this makes you want to disengage - how do I politely put it?
You're the other target audience for this signaling. And it's working.
After distro hopping for ages, a while back I found myself giving Tumbleweed a try and I have been here ever since. Really really liking the experience and don't think I'll be hopping anywhere anytime soon. The game changer for me was the btrfs file system, and using snapper to do a rollback due to a bad update, and everything...
It would have you wrongfully believe, Red Hat Linux came 1st. It did not. Furthermore, it goes even further and tries to claim that SUSE didn't step onto the stage until 2 whole years later. 🙄
It's been added and removed so many times that it is laughable.
I think I will start a thread here as a sort of diary.
Starting at #FrOSCon, I have started to try #openSUSE on my laptop. As a #Debian Developer, I felt reluctant to try something else, and Debian is a great project.
However, as I am teaching openSUSE at Linuxhotel, I thought I should maybe get more familiar with it 🤣. Also, I had already fallen in love with #zypper.
If you are keen in following the pros and cons I discover, take a seat!
I really get annoyed that RPM packages are not commonly supported and that converting a DEB package into an RPM isn't always straightforward or guaranteed.
Still going strong. #opensuse is awesome. Still loving qtile and but I've been thinking about trying out a new WM this week. Probably won't be Wayland.
@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with #opensuse#slowroll (I suspect #tumbleweed is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory
The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd
