I do things with openSUSE. Not that I'm particularly good at any of them =P

Maple Leaf Property Management Promissory Note

Recently I’ve been going back and forth with maple leaf property management to try and rent a townhouse but ran into them making me sign an ‘intent to rent’ promissory note in order to see a full lease. They sent me a generic lease, they haven’t even updated the language to reflect the new late fee policy. In order to...

Well none of that sounds like sketchy behavior on the part of the Management Company.

Not at all.

@governa I mean, the geeko isn't going anywhere, it just makes sense to get some independent branding for the various products coming out of the openSUSE Project.

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.

The Maintainer Of The NVIDIA Open-Source "Nouveau" Linux Kernel Driver Resigns (www.phoronix.com)

Hours after posting a large patch series for enabling the Nouveau kernel driver to use NVIDIA's GSP for improving the support for RTX 20/30 series hardware and finally enabling accelerated graphics support on RTX 40 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs, the Red Hat maintainer has resigned from his duties.

That is indeed the big question, if there's nobody willing to put in the work, then there's nothing to release.

Maintaining something like Leap, with the contributor base that has historically existed, isn't sustainable, long term, especially when the upstream is going in a different direction.

Correct, SUSE, the corporation is no longer providing a traditional linux distribution, after the SLE-15 EOL.

openSUSE, which is a community project, and not controlled by SUSE, is currently debating as to whether we have the contributors interested in doing so, and in sufficient numbers, to continue to provide a traditional point release distribution.

Tumbleweed (the rolling release) is not going anywhere. The community has not yet decided if the interest and manpower is there to use the ALP sources provided by SUSE to create A) A traditional linux distribution, akin to what Leap currently is, B) a "Slowroll" version of Tumbleweed, that has a slower release cycle, or C) Nothing at all, because there isn't the community there to support the development of it.

SUSE != openSUSE

What "wishy-washy" policy are you on about?

SFaulken,

Then yes, there are all kinds of things in the repositories that are going to annoy you.

SFaulken,

Short Answer? Because most of the current Leap userbase and maintainers aren't interested in an immutable Leap replacement. And in openSUSE, the people that are willing to put in the work, are the ones that make the decisions, ultimately.

SFaulken,

I certainly don't care what distribution you use, but Tumbleweed, aside from the occasional glitch on single updates, is stable as hell, and has been for a long time. It's hardly "bleeding edge" and on Par with Fedora, for instance, as far as stability is concerned. I'd say a bit more stable than the Arch derivatives, due to openQA.

Its not perfect by any means, but no distribution is.

shrug I'm not sure what more can be done, it isn't as if you can make people vote.

SFaulken,

To some extent, with openSUSE "the will of the users" isn't particularly relevant, because most of the userbase aren't the ones that maintain the thing, and as a wholly volunteer developed project, the developers work on what interests them. It's not that nobody cares about the users, but if the users are the only one calling for $thing, and there isn't a developer interested in doing $thing, it isn't going to happen.

I'd put a spouse/parent/etc on Aeon, before I'd put them on leap. But that's me.
