Lubos realized after tabulating the Leap 16 feedback results that the data indicates a large number of folks actually don’t seem to be using KDE Plasma, Gnome, or XFCE. What if you could add one more selection to the Desktop Environment section of Agama when installing Leap 16, Tumbleweed, or …
In my opinion, the long overdue conversation to make Wayland the default video server on KDE Plasma in Tumbleweed has finally happened. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of support for it, but I’m confident this will happen soon. I have included excerpts from the mailing list discussion …
openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling-release Linux distribution well-known for its stability, thanks in part to its use of Btrfs snapshots. By enabling transactional updates, users can upgrade the system atomically — updates are applied in a separate snapshot, and only take effect after a reboot. This model dramatically improves reliability …
openSUSE has long been known for its technical excellence, enterprise-grade tools, and robust community. One of its most defining tools, YaST (Yet another Setup Tool), has served as the backbone of openSUSE’s installation and system configuration process for decades. But as the Linux world evolves toward cloud-native, immutable, and automated …
So, for the record I had a perfectly working install of Tumbleweed on my laptop, previously installed with apparmor on it before they switched to SELinux. Everything was working great, including games like Magic: The Gathering Arena. But, as a good Linux tester (especially on behalf of openSUSE) that will …
The big controversy over openSUSE Tumbleweed changing from apparmor to SELinux should be coming to an end soon. The devs have been working hard to get a fix pushed that will allow anyone installing wine, proton, lutris, etc to be able to use these game packages without issue. The new …
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 …
After a full year with OST KDE as my chosen operating system, my appreciation for it continues to grow. The experience is akin to having a wee little lap cat purring along nicely. My uses for this system are diverse, ranging from content creation on YouTube to game development with …
Update: The opensuse devs have confirmed now that Leap will continue in more or less it’s current form. The default install for Leap 16 and beyond will NOT be immutable but will have that option in the installer, much like with Leap 15.x. Read more here: Leap 16 confirmed. At …
I did a 30 day review and now I’m ready for my 90 day review. I’m still loving OpenSuse Tumbleweed and I’m still super happy with it. Tumbleweed runs games just as good as any other Linux out there, including Arch and Arch derivatives. It is my assumption that rolling …
