    opensuse was my shortest experiment when i used to distro hop because of how old their software seemed to be. (ie old like debian stable).

    this was almost 20 years; has it gotten better?

      My first experiment with openSUSE was also not ended well back then but nowadays it’s in my top 3 list when I’m suggesting distros to people.

        same here; but only because of the support like red hat’s and canonical’s

          I’ve tried it a few times over the years, but always find it clunky when coming from Fedora, so I end up jumping right back. It’s also a real shitshow with my System 76 laptop WiFi, just doesn’t play nice and takes to much work to make it functional.

            i take back what i said; i just discovered that suse isn’t going to support opensuse anymore.

                i was wrong. i misread the article thinking that opensuse was going to turn into an analogue similar to centos stream ending up with suse eventually sun setting opensuse like red hat is doing with centos; but no, they’re ARE doing a centos stream like model but it’s going to be back and forth between opensuse leap and opensuse tumbleweed.

                opensuse is back on the recommended list. lol
