1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I tried getting in touch with my heritage and using OpenSUSE but it really doesn't click with me. From the installer to the whoke YaST thing, others love it but I'm just a bad German.

    I also don't own a car or watch football so this tracks

    I know you kid and I'm sure you a good German but:

    SUSE started in 1994 according to Wikipedia. At the time, it was one of the only good and stable Linux distribution that you could reliably install anywhere without tweaking configuration files all over the place.

    IIRC, all the previous distributions have been obsoleted once Ubuntu was available.

    I mean,yes and no? At the time, Ubuntu made itself an extremely prolific and easy to start linux experience. The adaptations that ubuntu presented have been replicated in several other distros now, and Canonical have made questionable choices to the point where Mint seems like THE beginner/minimal config distro, the things that are universally acceptable from Ubuntu are being rolled back into debian, and mint itself is trying to go for a debian based version which is basically the same level of friendliness.

    The installer's partitioner and package selection can get a bit complicated, but imo it's a pretty guided experience. You also don't have to use YaST on OpenSUSE, it's just a nice alternative to having to copy commands from some random tutorial, and it's also being replaced: YAST is now Agama, Cockpit and Myrlyn on openSUSE

    While the packages are a shitshow (missing depends, etc. (Edit: I had multiple problems with shotcut because of this and grew frustrated enough that I just use the Appimage now)), the TW is updated very often and is really stable, it's on a level with fedora. Also the default firewall config is very strict, which is good.

    Yes, the Yast installer is terrible and I had to do my encryption with ext4 (instead of BTRFS) manually in terminal, because the install would somehow break everything.

    It's a mixed bag, but as a disorganized person who doesn't do regular updates and still likes to have new packages, I like it.
