The only thing that really makes this one "Official" is that I am applying the Code of Conduct here.

The other two moderators are/were also moderators for r/openSUSE, and other communications channels.

The lemmy.world community can be just as "Official" as this one, if they enforce the CoC.

Good enough for me. Let’s test lemmy/kbin compatibility!

Reminds me that I really should get doing the same with Xfce

unexposedhazard, in What we need to take away from the XZ Backdoor

Honestly i barely even pay attention to this stuff, because backdoors like this probably make it into production on closed source projects daily. Its impossible to always know and prevent everything, but open source is the only way that even attempts to do so.

If anything this is a testament to how open source is the only way to make secure IT infrastructure.

Absolutely!

Archaeopteryx, in KDE Megarelease 6 in TW snapshot 20240311 - openSUSE Factory

Did the upgrade a few minutes ago. No problems so far and everything feels very smooth when it comes to animation, desktop effects etc.

jcruz, in KDE Megarelease 6 in TW snapshot 20240311 - openSUSE Factory

The installation will fail because it will reboot when trying to remove plasma shell 5. To solve it, I installed with yast plasma 6 addons and breeze style opensuse, because plasma shell with not load after reboot . On my other laptop running tumbleweed also, I decided to do the installation with tty instead of login in plasma and the upgrade worked like a charm.

Archaeopteryx, in Quick and Dirty podman container

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. I really need to play around with podman container more. However, so far I haven’t had a real use case where I thought “Hey, a container would be the solution!” 🙂.

Thanks for sharing. This was a very interesting talk about Kalpa.

jfx, in Clear Course is Set for openSUSE Leap

Great, so a lot of people are going to have a clear upgrade path (including me). Otherwise OpenSuse would have lost me (and I imagine others) after 25 yrs or so…

Hurrah: “There are no plans to drop the classical (non-immutable) option for Leap;…”

Archaeopteryx, in Exploring Agama's 2024 Roadmap
@Archaeopteryx@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I’m curious to see how the new installer feels and whether it’s really better than the old one.

SFaulken,

It feels pretty good, as well as looks pretty good. YaST and the YaST installer have been basically in maintenance mode for a long time, without any active development for a number of years now, and it's certainly time to move on.

Archaeopteryx,
@Archaeopteryx@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The installer looks very modern indeed. But as I said, I hope that it will ultimately offer the same configuration options as Yast. But you’re right, it’s definitely time for something new that is actively developed and proper maintained.

sedot, in Results of the voting for the Logo Contest

no offense and everything, but please, for the love of god, just keep the openSUSE logo as it is.

Well, there's already a discussion on the mailing lists, and while I can't speak for the project, (nor am I an attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), the "Main" openSUSE Project logo is a registered trademark of SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, so it's highly unlikely that it's going to change.

sedot,

Thank you for your response, i will check the mailing lists for more informations.

This is how you troll a distro. Pretend to be a supporter while voting for the worst possible option. Well done.

fr0g, in Results of the voting for the Logo Contest

Oh man, this is a bit awkward all around.

Don't really like any of the TW winners personally and two of the suggestions plus the kalpa winner are all ones that were part of a broader theme that didn't get picked up by the other logos. The goal was to create something that is consistent across the board, but he results kinda point in a different direction.

I do like the Slowroll winner and the leap winner is a safe choice, too if course.

I also like LCP winner for the main logo and am generally in favour of a new logo. But all of the three other too contenders are basically just retreads of the OG logo, which can probably be read as no real desire by the broader community for a change.

SFaulken,

Well, I can say, with all certainty, that while I appreciate the submissions, and the community making themselves heard, that isn't the new Kalpa logo.

The title of a horror movie.

Potatofish, in openSUSE to have Logos Competition

Are any of these voting and community involvement efforts helping?

SFaulken,

I would say so, but things take time to filter down through, and as always within openSUSE, the folks that do the work, are the ones that decide how they want to do things, and what they want to work on.

dauerstaender, in How free is opensuse?

Just like with debian you can remove the non-oss repos on your system. You can see what it provides here: download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/…/x86_64/ .

That said, everything in the oss repo is opensource and GPL compatible.

possiblylinux127,

But do they ship things like WiFi firmware and media codexes?
