I wasn’t sure about the state of Slowroll. In terms of stability, Tumbleweed ist absolutely fine. It’s the less frequent, but not super low frequent update cycle that’s interesting to me. I could always just ignore updates on TW, but I’ve got the urge to run the updates if there are any.
It’s available, but still experimental I think.
I’m running TW and it’s great. If you don’t want a rolling release, OpenSUSE created Slowroll, that is supposed to release major updates every one or two months, which would probably be my go to if I were to start over.
For work that’s one thing, but from what I read here, there’s a whole bunch of people running around with multitools on their belts in their private time.
Well, sure I do have to fix something around the house or something like that, but then I got my trusty toolbox with all the stuff I need, so I have no need for multitools on my belt.
It’s a common thing I read on here. All the swiss pocket knives, Leatherman and flashlights. What are you people doing with those? I cannot remember the last time one of these items has been relevant to me.
I made the switch a week ago. For two days at work, I always used Google, DDG and ecosia(uses bing) at the same time to compare the results. They are the same most of the time for the first 10 to 20 results. There’s sometimes a blogpost that one engine shows that the other doesn’t, but that post never made a difference.
When DDG does not get me helpful results, I can still ask Google to help out.
tbh: she probably clicks on the thing that says “INTERNET” and thats it. I’ve been setting up a few computers in my family for people 50+ and they mostly don’t even know the name of the program they use and mix it all up. I then just install a program and prefix the shortcut with the service. Like “MAIL Outlook”, “INTERNET Firefox” so they know where to go.
I’ve been scripting pre update snapshot, update, restart, post update snapshot. Whenever I start my PC and there’s a update notification, I just run my script, have a look at Lemmy or get a coffee or have a piss, and then go on with whatever I was going to do. Or skip update for a day if I don’t wanna invest the time.
The only reason for a rollback was a fuck up on my side. Nvidia drivers from the official zypper repo is always up to date and has not failed me for as long as I had a Nvidia GPU
It’s really easy and comfortable to use.
openSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s not Arch based, but easy to install and configure, KDE Plasma is nice and the rolling release has you always up to date. Snapshots make it safe.
Have a look at Tumbleweed with KDE.
In 10 years of working with tiling WMs productively on a daily basis this has been an issue exactly 0 times…
…for you.
Different people have different needs.
Just disabled it in BIOS/UEFI. Should I disable security device support too, or doesn’t it matter when fTPM is disabled?
That’s fair.
Ah, the prime example of a stack overflow user. Nice.
I recently changed and could only do it because of ChatGPT. There are a lot of things that work different in Linux, like package managers, the file system in general, the focus on terminal, stuff that works different with different distros. For almost all questions, ChatGPT helped me within seconds. This is even more true, when I kinda don’t know, what my question actually is. Then it helps to give me some good buzzwords to Google for. If I would have done this with just reddit and forums and stack or something, I’d get so much non-helping, gatekeeping, belittling answers - if any.
Gaming on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without any problem so far. First with Nvidia, now with amd.
Try Tumbleweed then. It has yast and will cover the important stuff you’d probably do in console otherwise.
Just out of curiosity: What’s your problem with the terminal?
MacOS for work. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my private.
Thinking they haven’t gone too far is not the same as thinking they haven’t gone far enough, so no. Not an alternative Title.
