i am doing an openSUSE check in. showing support for one another. i need SIX SUSEheads to post, not share, this message to show you are always there to sudo zypper dup and have it work every time. lets go gentlemen.
I'm using tumbleweed.
Two questions:1. Does OpenSUSE have non-European sources yet, or is using Discover going to be slow as shit in Australia?2. Is there a graphical method, without any terminal usage, to install multimedia codecs and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers?
>>107481231>1.Yes>2.Yes: https://www.opensuse-community.org/
Opensuse as a pan-european distro when
>>107480814I moved to a better distro Fedora does everything those onions troons refused to do and they are replacing the best aspects of their distro because they can't maintain it due to chasing everyone out.They can't even manage open nvidia drivers something other distros can do with zero issue.Rotted flesh statement has destroyed them completely and they can't even get support and Suse as an org wants to separate from them now.
>>107481444keep dreaming schizo, openSUSE is more alive than ever
>>107481444I moved from Fedora to openSUSE because it worked better. After that I haven't distrohopped again since there's just nothing to complain about. I also like that it's European.>They can't even manage open nvidia driversWho cares? Only cucks use Nvidia in the first place. I don't buy my GPUs based on what works the best on Windows.
>>107481905What did I say that was schizoBefore you cope post what does opensuse offer now when it's more unstable than ever before and they abandoned yast, not even abandoned lacked the ability to maintain it and now use a tool that can be used on any distro.>>107481989There are workloads AMD cannot do and they lack a modern gpu with the vram and performance for my needs. Opensuse can't even handle MOK signing well and forces you to do it with every update while on fedora you do it once and only have to do it again after a bios update.
Does OpenSUSE still copy Fedora's noto font fontconfig bugs?Does it still use xdg-su instead of sudo for everything so disabling password entry doesn't work?
https://github.com/H3rz3n/davinci-helperDaVinci Helper is really making Fedora attractive to me. Any reason I should use DaVinci Resolve on OpenSUSE instead?
OpenSuSE does not validate that the ESP partition is big enough for its needs before starting the install so it will hose itself and whatever else you had on it. This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't go to the linuxtard stuff of putting stuff in the ESP partition that isn't supposed to be in there but alas. They also recently switched to grub-bls which is essentially completely undocumented and causes fbdev bugs. Green Fedora once again strictly worse than Fedora.
>>107480814>sudo zypper dup and have it work every timeUsing opensuse on my travel laptop that really needs the hardware decoding from packman to play videos properly (and can't afford the disk space for fl*tpak), and I swear every single time I upgrade it before I leave on a trip I encounter package conflicts and the forum just tells me to "give it a week" for packman to get their shit together.I really appreciate the robustness of the core system, it's a really well done standard configuration I need to tweak *very* little to compared to e.g. debian, but it's definitely long in the tooth.It's made for machines that run 24/7, the expensive snapper/btrfs-cleanup configuration means that every time I wake my laptop for the first time in a few days, it'll start randomly hanging after 10 minutes, sometimes for half an hour straight, before it's usable. I had to disable qgroups or whatever for this.Similarly, zypper and YAST2 both feel super advanced for their time, I love the "patterns" system, but they have not aged well. It feels unmaintained and severely lacks usability in places I don't expect, like an "upgrade" button in the GUI, or a "zypper autoremove" in the CLI (the GUI has one...).Package stability for non-core packages is another one. telegram-desktop is incredibly unstable. I somehow manage to (off and on) help maintain this package on gentoo of all things yet for months the opensuse package was segfaulting, and after that was fixed, a few weeks ago a Qt update without rebuilding it broke it again. Similarly, tailscale will take over the DNS settings and fuck up roaming on laptop. Even if you install "openresolv" it won't use that because the daemon's PATH doesn't include /sbin (where resolvconf lives), and I still haven't been able to solve that (I'll submit a bug report when I do...).All in all OpenSUSE feels a bit like bygone glory, which is sad because there's a lot to lot to love, but it hasn't changed from when I first tried it in 2013...
>>107483098I had to replace my laptop distro with fedora because the project slowly got worse over time. The tumblweed I started with is not the broken janky shit I dealt with this year. They became divisive and chased out talent and now it's busted shit and they have to change core features as cope for not being able to maintain yast.
>>107483098I forgot the random "packagekit is blocking zypper, want to stop it?" and pressing yes, but because zypper was never weaponized against systemd's auto-respawn, packagekit just keeps blocking it no matter what you answer.When my network is unstable or misconfigured (like when tailscale took the DNS configuration hostage), packagekit will keep blocking it forever, rendering zypper useless to even search or inspect packages. It's really annoying.
one of the most pozzed distros out here, just stick with fedora
>>107483126Yeah, I'll probably just install debian on this laptop next time. Right now I have too much on my mind as is.
>>107483209I'm sure you can migrate your home directory just be mindful of what packages you need. tumblweed is often behind fedora when it comes to bleeding edge stuff on top of being less stable overall now. The migration from yast has also been a fucking clown car with myrln and copilot
>>107483253Cockpit is what people have been suggesting instead of YAST, but unless they integrate it into the settings manager, with *at least* a button to launch a web browser to the right URL, I don't want to bother setting it up. It feels way too fedora-centric anyway. YAST was unique in that it felt properly integrated into the desktop, if a bit clunky. Cockpit looks like a minecraft server control panel to me, but I won't knock it till I try it I guess.Myrlyn seems cool but I've just been writing some scripts around zypper as of late. I'll put them on gist at some point.
>>107483253Forgot to thank you for the suggestion, btw, but I always feel dirty copying my home from one distro to the next, as distros and DEs tend to muck around a lot in there and leave configurations that subtly break things on the next one. Most of the work is in setting up everything outside of home, anyway...
>>107483373Never hurts to have your defaults and browser migrated, Fedora is typically ahead of tumbleweed anyways so you won't have any serious problems.
>thread about openSUSE, gods own distro>fedora fags shit it up and make it about themwow, why am i not surprised.
>>107483638Your distro got taken over by retard troons that can't properly maintain it. Where else was I supposed to go once the distro went to shit and updates would always break things?They have nobody but themselves to blame.
day 4 of the nvidia driver and kernel being incompatible
>>107483782They are still having that problem?HOLY FUCKThey only have one guy working on this shit, did they even add his new notes to the wiki or do you still have to find his github for modern changes and dealing with the new drivers.
I read somewhere that SLE is integrating AI into their codebase. The rotting flesh comment, changes being made to YaST. Ive always liked the RPM format, other than minor version inconsistencies. For some strange reason, Ive always stuck with suse.
>>107480814does that include no vendor change alloved cannot remember zypper
