As a proud member of the open source community since 1995, as being part of the OSS revolution as a #RedHat, #Canonical and #SuSE employee, with regrets I have to admit @geerlingguy is not totally wrong:
»Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Das große Linux-Update ändert viel, aber nicht nur zum Besseren:
Der Desktop der neuen Version mit Langzeit-Support ist modern, die Basis solide. Das Wirrwarr rund um die Softwareausstattung führt aber zu zahlreichen Irritationen«
…oder gleich Debian, SuSE oder der gleichen Produktiv auf dem Desktop nutzen! Ich nutze was anderes aber das ist immer auch Geschmackssache ect.
Today, I checked out #NeuVector from #SUSE and it made a good initial impression on me. It was intuitive, categorized results in a meaningful way, and combines various concepts that I like from Red Hat Insights, Clair, and ManageIQ into a common platform.
Wow!
Over 4% marketshare today is simply mindblowing. What would that be in terms of users? surely over a 100 milion.. maybe 200 milion ?? WTF can you believe these numbers??
throws me back to when i first got to using #linux as a daily driver propper daily driver. Where after a brief wrestle with #Suse, I settled on #Ubuntu 10.04 and many versions after that. Last few years being happy on #Manjaro with #KDE Plasma.
And I know where to begin with #SUSE. SUSE's documentation is excellent and generally publicly available. Their paid support is excellent. SLEMicro is excellent for hosting Kubernetes and other workloads. And SUSE supports #btrfs out of box!
Ha! Le casse della #coop#svizzera girano con #Linux! Oggi hanno rebootato tutte insieme in stile aggiornamento forzato di windows (mentre stavo pagando. Si saranno scioccate per lo stato del mio conto?). Ad ogni modo molto molto male #SUSE 😜
So I recently ran across this post and thread by @vwbusguy, and I would like to try to address some of the questions/misconceptions/etc that come up in the thread.
If you have questions, please, ask. What we do with #Kalpa isn't identical to what #Fedora does with their #AtomicDesktops, but many of the concepts for the end user are going to be similar/the same.
@kalpa For one thing, I love that #Fedora and #SUSE play well together such that I can easily build and test things for #OpenSUSE using #Distrobox from #Kinoite, not to mention the usefulness of OBS for generating/maintaining custom, immutable OpenSUSE images.
In a surprise twist, our #fosdem2024 BoF session "Special Purpose Operating Systems: The Next Step in OS Evolution or One-Trick Ponies?" was greenlit this morning!
:linux: #MyFirstDistro was SuSE Linux 7.1 or 7?, it came with KDE, Staroffice, Netscape and the graphical installer YAST on a bunch of CD-ROMs with a thick manual in a retail box. While SuSE and KDE were already well supported and user-friendly, Linux really came a long way since then.
I'm now using POP!_OS daily for over a year and couldn't be happier, it's such a joy to use.
My first distro was SUSE (then stylized as SuSE) after it was acquired by Novell in like 2003-2004. I used it with the default UI, which I believe was Gnome at the time.
I later tried out Ubuntu and it's KDE cousin Kubuntu via CDs they would mail you.
Currently, I'm using Ubuntu on my personal laptop.
