Welcome to the monthly update for openSUSE Tumbleweed for May 2024. This month has seen a significant number of updates, enhancements, and crucial security fixes. Whether you are a developer, a system administrator, or a casual user, these updates are designed to enhance your experience and ensure the highest level of security...
Contributors developing the Aeon Desktop are happy to announce a major milestone with the launch of Release Candidate 2 (RC2) images. Within the last 24 hour...
Giving #OpenSuse Leap a try. Would like to go from my rather moody #ArchLinux to a more stable system. Feels like I learned everything I could in terms of usage, now I want something that needs less maintaining and gives me more time to do other things.
Given I do not trust US companies (not necessarily because of the company, but the legislation they have to follow) #Fedora or anything #Ubuntu was an absolute no-go. And #Debian just isn't modern enough, despite being dead-stable. 😉 #Linux
I do like #OpenSuse's install wizard. Doesn't look very modern, however gives you a ton of settings. Being able to specify PCI-IDs and what driver to load for specific devices at setup is extremely useful!
The openSUSE Project has an official space on Hugging Face, which is a popular platform offering a range of open-source Artificial Intelligence models, tools and resources....
The schedule for openSUSE Conference 2024 is out and it is filled with several talks about open-source ecosystem and includes several breaks for networking opportunities....
@Cylis custom kernels are a pain in the rear on openSUSE.
If you're on my Discord server, ping Jake. He has built several for openSUSE and knows how to do it. You may be able to find some on the Open Build Service with opi (opi kernel), but IDK how often those are updated.
While focused on the openSUSE Innovator initiative as an openSUSE member and Intel Innovator, it was frustrating for me to see that openVINO did not have support on the openSUSE Linux distribution....
@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
This is why I prefer using Distrobox on my personal computer. No package for Signal-Desktop? No problem, run it through a Debian container using Distrobox.
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.)
For curiosity's sake, I tried my RAM again, DIMM by DIMM, and my Mac didn't like any of it at all. Tried it alongside the RAM it came with (keeping in mind what you said about mixing RAM) and I got a red LED. So... I think I will have to seek out something that will definitely work, because it's clearly not keen on what I already have. Shouldn't be too expensive, though.
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/
#DidYouKnow: A #Leap#Second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between:
Precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks), and
Imprecise observed solar time (UT1), which varies due to irregularities and long-term slowdown in the Earth's rotation.
