This install was 6 months old without updating. Let’s update it and see if it bricks itself. The old Manjaro I had installed on sweeties computer bricked after I didn’t update it for too long. I’m guessing that’s because it [Manjaro] is based on Arch, and many people say never let an Arch install go for very long between updates. But what about Tumbleweed? Lets find out….

I was introduced to Linux in 1998 with a SUSE disc that came in the back of a computer magazine. I didn't want to Bork my system so I took my windows HD out, put a spare in and installed from that SUSE disc. It didn't work.... but it worked just enough to give me the Linux bug. I tried several more times and finally got pclinuxos to work, but the NVIDIA driver would not install. Then came mandrake and that time the nvidia driver worked, but I had a win-modem. Ugh, the damned win-modem just wouldn't work. So I got a hardware dial up card and game on.
I loved mandrake, then came kubuntu, which I used for 14 years or so. Jumped to Manjaro-kde, then went with the unstable repos which makes it pretty much Arch. Then went Arch. Back to Manjaro-kde, broke my system and now I'm on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. How ironic that the distro that introduced me to Linux, is what I've currently settled on.
