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!
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
If the whole Windows Recall thing scares you and you are looking for options: For many people Linux just does the trick. If you need a browser, some office stuff, maybe a bit of image/media management, Linux absolutely got you covered. It probably will be annoying or something might be broken but that is the same with every operating system.
But before you install something, maybe have a chat with someone who knows a bit more about it to help you navigate the choices and to ensure that your workload is actually supported on Linux.
But it's no longer an OS just for experts. You can do almost anything graphically and a lot of shit just works.
@svenjacobs@tante For a rolling release #Linux distro #openSUSE Tumbleweed is one of the best. They do a lot of QA testing before letting packages in so it is quite stable for a rolling release distro. It has snapper nicely integrated with btrfs file system and if something would go wrong with an update you can simply revert to old snapshot. YaST configuration tool allows to make a lot of configuration from the graphical user interface. Most of the rest is nicely covered by KDE System Settings.
We are working on a new tab for our Midori browser, with news, access to Astian Accounts, adblock statistics and much more, watch this video and find out what's coming for Midori.
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....
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....
@LouisIngenthron
Wow. Sorry to hear about your issues. I recently had a few issues myself with second screens and #OpenSuse.
Honestly, whenever I have issues with other distros on certain machines I turn to #Ubuntu and it never failes me, but of course #PopOS should be pretty much the same. Did you check if switching between the Wayland or X11 display manager on login makes your experience better?
Besides, there's still #Manjaro. They got some bad press recently, but I kind of enjoy it.
