openSUSE Tumbleweed makes for a good desktop and even one for gaming, but for a workstation or server, you're going to want either SUSE Leap or Enterprise.

Sadly, SUSE is really trying to push their immutable systems with transactional updates. And unfortunately, that will soon include openSUSE Leap.

I will give credit where credit is due. SUSE will allow some binaries to run from /home, but /opt is questionable. The development seems to be on the fence on that.

Linux_Is_Best,

By the fence, I mean I have tried MicroOS, for example, and there were some builds where /opt worked, some where /opt didn't, and then it worked again by the next release.

Not everything runs on Flatpak and not everything comes in a nice RPM package from the official SUSE repositories. You can technically circumvent this, but until they officially settle on whether or not /opt will be a guaranteed definite option, I would be cautious.

Installing evil.... Evil successfully installed.

SO.... The last time I came up here wondering why SUSE was missing the free, basic library to work with simple, standard TAR.BZ2 archives....

... You know, the ones every binary distribution uses, including Mozilla, to distribute their releases.

The same type of archives that GitHub and GitLab release.

The same type of archive you'd likely encounter for a backup from most websites.

In other words, very, common...

1/3

Linux_Is_Best,

I've decided to "shame" SUSE Linux.

Party because it seems like nonsense not to include that basic, free, widely adapted library.

Partly because when I came on here, someone claiming to represent SUSE made a fuss about my comment.

The personal installer for "Firefox Automatic Install for Linux" will now check for BZIP2 package and specifically call out SUSE if it is not found on the system.

(Going beyond developer notes)

3/3

I like automation.

I'm the guy who made "Firefox Automatic Install of Linux" just to save time from having to install Firefox manually.

I would prefer verbal over point and click, and would prefer point and click over typing in a terminal window.

My vision of the future is asking a computer to do something with my voice and it does it. Try to imagine the computer on the Enterprise (from Star Trek).

If AI ever gets smart enough that I can add it to my desktop, I will be one of the first.

Linux_Is_Best,

@charliechan It is unfortunate. I grew up using SUSE Linux. They're the 3rd oldest Linux development and the longest running enterprise distro.

I just feel like they're going backwards.
