If someone really wants the absolute bleeding edge, with the latest software releases for openSUSE, there is 'openSUSE Factory'. However, Tumbleweed is usually new enough for most users, and TW is stable precisely because it does get the benefit of testing from Factory. But, openSUSE has 4 different major release versions now, to accommodate the needs of every user. 'Leap' focuses on rock solid stability and shares packages with SUSE Linux Enterprise. Then there's 'Slowroll' now as well, the recently added slow rolling release, that rolls about every 2-3 months, which offers a kind of middle ground between Tumbleweed and Leap.

@@lohlundgamesNo problem. But, if you're referring to Factory, please do keep in mind that it's not really intended for day-to-day use, and is considered a testing release for experienced users. Just want to make sure I'm clear about exactly what it is, before someone rushes to install it, has some kind of problem, then wants to thank me for that as well lol. The software on Tumbleweed is typically less than 2 weeks old, after first getting tested on Factory. But, Factory is there, for those who want to test it and understand what to expect.

Opensuse actually has a testing environment to test the packages. Manjaro doesn’t. They just hold packages back in order to see if there was any major issue with arch with an update. I think the opensuse approach can be taken more seriously

The reason Opensuse updates are so large is because unlike other rolling releases they rebuild all dependencies that an updated package uses .. which is great because sometimes all associated packages should be rebuilt.. this HEAVILY lends to Opensuses stability and one the main reasons things break over time in Arch because they update a package and toss it out and the dependencies don't get an update til they get a version update which is what tends to cause things to break in Arch.. TBH Arch needs to change their mentality to be more like Opensuse in this regard

I'm so happy this distro gets more time in the spotlight. I can agree with everything you said. It's rolling but stable, and even if it wasn't that ONE time... snapper is there to save you, no matter what. Every time I try something different (recently nix), I just come back to Tumbleweed and it feels like coming home. And the home feels like a comfy log cabin, snow slowly falling down in front of the windows, and you're sitting there with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate, besides a warm fire, wrapped up in the most fluffy blanket.

I think you're trending along the lines of some other KZfaq Linux guys. Arch is the best, some months later.. I finally left Arch, fedora is the best, never switching. Some months later, now Open Suse, it's the best.. You're just distro hopping like many of us. Nothing wrong with that. But it's tough to keep users trust when you are looking to build a user base. I would suggest you keep a solid foundation and build upon it. As someone who's watched a few of your videos now, I'm pretty sure you'll be switching again with the same words here shortly. It's the look you're putting out there.

I’ve been on Tumbleweed for about 6 months now. It took me a few days to get it setup like I wanted. I’m using it for home desktop on and media server for plex / jellyfin. 13th gen i7 and two gpu’s. Nvidia P2000 and a RX6700. All working great for what I want. The P2000 covers the transcoding for videos and the RX6700 covers my gaming needs. Can honestly say I’m very pleased with this setup and can’t see any reason for hopping to another one now. Wanted to try a “stable” rolling release and I think I found a perfect fit for my main home desktop.

As a LONG time openSUSE user, you're preaching to the choir, Reverend. That being said, you are a much stronger advocate than I so I appreciate that. My difference is that I use the Leap version instead of the Tumbleweed. I definitely appreciate the rollback feature. I've had to use it a few times. Most of the other problems I've had were self-induced. I agree that zypper's performance sucks and they should fix that, especially for their enterprise clients. Otherwise, I've been solidly on openSUSE since 12.3, actually before but I had issues with the OS back then but not since 12.3.

I have used OpenSUSE on and off for like 3 or 4 years now and it used to have breakages for me on the odd update (again, Tumbleweed) however this most recent bout of a year or so has been very good with no breakages. OpenSUSE is the distro that I prefer mostly even if YAST looks like ASST (lol), although Pop!OS is actually pretty good in the tests I have done.

Welcome to the Chameleon club brother. I played with a few distros in 1999 till 2003. Then decided to buy the box set of SuSE Linux Professional 9.2 in 2004. I wanted that huge book. I still have it, a nice relic to have. Ran it on my AMD Athlon 64. What a nice setup that was! Been with the SUSE family ever since. I use Tumbleweed on one of my Microsoft surfaces, the other is stock Microsoft W11😁 A few tweaks to get it working with the touch screen but it's amazing. I also have openSUSE Leap on another machine running in text mode (desktop environment disabled, but still there in case I want to startx) with all my docker containers for my Home Lab, I manage it locally via SSH from either my openSUSE Surface or my Microsoft Surface 😅 Solid as a rock!

It's simple to use, has up to date packages and most importantly it seems to be very stable. As a non-power user I just don't want to search for stuff online all the time, because something breaks or doesn't work as expected (except it's something I'm interested in and I want to modify it) .

The problem of OBS and other non-AUR repositories is that you have no guarantee that the package contains what it says on the tin. You trust root access to your machine to a random dude that uploaded the package. In AUR, you can read built script, and most of them boil down to three meaningful lines, and be sure that the software came from its supposed developer's web page, excluding the uploader to AUR from the trust chain completely.

2:00 Fedora may use BTRFS, but they don't make use of BTRFS snapshots by default. The closest thing they have is the ability to boot using an old kernel. Silverblue does have something similar to BTRFS snapshots which lets you rollback to old system states, but it's more powerful since it's more anti-hysteresis and lets you boot rollback to a version you never even had installed on your system. And NixOS goes even further than Silverblue, although it isn't as friendly to use as Silverblue.

I just installed it. It took a very long time. So far it doesn't seem any different from Fedora, which is what I was using. The image quality seems a bit faded compared to the high contrast colors of Fedora. Other than that, it seems a little bit boring. I've also noticed issues with video and audio synching properly. I tried doing some remote work on it and apparently I had to adjust the color log in specifics because it would not log in to the native color resolution on my windows machine. On the plus side, the audio does sound better on open SUSE, compared to fedora. The big question for me will be happy eyes or happy ears. The washed out colors are really distracting.

Same. I've had the same rolling Debian testing release installed for over 10 years at this point with very few issues. It's even been copied from one drive to another and survived at least one full computer rebuild. I'd also second that to Void. I usually have a chroot or container of it that I play around with when I have a bit of time.

I been using Slowroll on my desktop and laptop. I know the stability of the OpenQA system but I don't need the most uptodate packages but can't go with Leap because of how outofdate of everything. BTW Slowroll is experimental but it suppose to be between TW and Leap

I'm also using Slowroll. It checks all boxes for me. A moderately up-to-date rolling release without having a ton of daily updates.
@alexstone691 3 ай бұрын
How big are the updates?
@KM-sv4dh 3 ай бұрын
@alexstone691 You get one big update every month sometime after two months. Other than that, the updates are mostly security updates that are bellow 50Mb at best.

I like opensuse tumbleweed but my only gripe is that I truly don't know what to do after installing it. I've read blogs, articles and posts about what to do after installing tumbleweed but all of them are fairly old (2+ years old) and I am not sure if the info is outdated or not. I've installed packman and video/audio codecs and that's about it. Also, when I run an update, there are some packages that can be updated but zypper tells me it won't update it for me. (Its always the same 3-4 packages). It happens after installed packman. Another thing. How should I update? should I run a update (zypper up) or a distro-update (zypper dup)? It be nice to see a video about things to do after installing tumbleweed.

Been using suse since ages now. Can't even remember. Either 8.1 or 9.1. it always was miles ahead of its competition and it still is. Perhaps having a few gaming yast patterns in it might be just the thing to convince people.

OpenSUSE has been my go-to for nearly a year now, and I've only *kinda* missed Nobara, who made it super easy to tweak the RGB my PC came with. But YaST saved my sorry butt once or twice, and makes it so danged convenient to install things I need for dev.

generally its the kernel which actually causes issues for me, while the fix which i go is booting up in the linux rescue kernel besides openSUSE has been really stable Besides my favorite distro would be openSUSE or Fedora Silverblue

Is plasma 6 on Tumbleweed or do you have to go out of your way to install it?

It's a bit of a pain, as it's not in the main repos yet. You have to add the KDE repos to get it.

I'm probably going to have to move from Arch to OpenSuSE at some point in future. I need the professional toolset for my work to be provided, supported and maintained by a company like Suse. Currently i do get the same tools available on Arch of course, but it's not the same thing compared to when they are provided with additional support and version selections maintained by a company.

package availability is the biggest reason I want to switch from fedora. I can't though because I'm in the middle of a semester and can't risk breakages from changing

I'm not a Linux expert by any means but I think Fedora has a great balance between being up to date and being stable too, with rpm being widely supported. I'm not sure what problems you have with it but I've found very few. As a gamer I find it to be a great distro.

I'm convinced. Been daily driving Debian 12 as my first Linux distro (didn't follow the Linux Mint / [insert other beginner distro here]) and once I got everything configured as I wanted it, yeah I mean it's definitely Debian lol, no issues. But I always felt like I was missing out being the old geezer running Debian. If I want to combine stability with a rolling release, I think the next logical step would be either Fedora or OpenSUSE. I felt like jumping on the Red Hat hate train for no reason so OpenSUSE it is boys, wish me luck tomorrow x)

I agree with you that OpenSUSE is the best (for my needs). I've tested many distros and keep coming back to Open SUSE. It just feels right and works right for me. An excellent operating system all around, in my view. And I've been testing Linus distros for a number of years. Thanks for the channel and the videos.

Tumbleweed was my favourite distro until I discovered nixos, though I recently had an issue with tumbleweed on my old laptop, I had xfce installed, but decided to try mate, so I installed the mate pattern and restarted, but it wouldn't login, so I tried gdm, same problem, then I tried sddm, same problem, so I logged into xfce and did a zypper dup, it downloaded 1.8G of packages and when it was almost finished installing them the xserver crashed and booted me out to a tty, I figured the update must have finished so I rebooted, but it rebooted to a tty, I tired to run zypper but zypper wouldn't run because of some missing rpm or something, so my system was broken, if it was installed on btrfs I could have booted into another snapshot, but it wasn't because I've found that btrfs doesn't perform very well on low end laptops, so instead I tried mate on my main system which runs on nixos, I changed one word in the config and did a rebuild, I restarted and logged into mate, and thought to myself, well that was easy.

i liked what i saw when i tried it, but getting it connected to the net was impossible, i tried something different, the default network management applet was a crippled loser mess. after i had time to think, post annoyance, i figured out what i needed to install to make it work, but never went back.

I really liked some features opensuse provides but at the same time some things annoyed the hell out of me - There is rescue mode in iso file with script that automatically mounts your system so you could repair things - The installer which most people don't like, while it was a bit confusing it provides the overview before beginning the installation which i love as it shows all the options set Things i hate - zypper is meh the plasma widget worked better for me most of time - tumbleweed updates are HUGE, it took 2 hours to update my laptop with an i3 which is too much IMO
