From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting. Have you also tried openSUSE Aeon(/Kalpa)? Though I assume you're a KDE user and thus waiting for Kalpa to become mature before a test ride.

Could you elaborate on what you didn't like about Aurora and Bazzite; especially about how that experience made you more appreciative of openSUSE?

Thank you in advance!

That's right!

Could you elaborate on what you didn't like about Aurora and Bazzite;

Bazzite comes with Lutris and Sterm preinstalled as native packages. I don't use Lutris and want to use Steam as flatpak, so I decided to try Aurora.

For some reason it was surprisingly unstable. I've had various issues with KDE, DXVK and a few mainstream errors, that I had to either try to fix myself (like this one) or simply ignore (like this one). I've switched back to openSUSE and now I'm happier than ever about openQA existence.
