It was the only distro that worked out of the box with my laptop. Everything else for some reason would crash when returning from hibernate/lid close. I was a long time Ubuntu user years ago that went back to windows when 7 came out. 11/copilot/recall was a step too far so I decided to go back. No dice with Ubuntu, Manjaro, arch, popos, mint, Ubuntu again etc etc. Suse just worked. I have leap (just updated to 15.6 last night) on my main laptop and tumbleweed on my travel laptop. I'm very happy with them both.

Did you try leap before tumbleweed because I still have a few issues I am running on bandaids right now.

I went through quite a few distros to find one that would cooperate with my laptop and opensuse is the one that did it.

Well let's hope this ticketmaster shit the government is doing has knock on effects

I Dunno man I think this is really one where just not going to bowlero would do the trick. Maybe it's different because I'm in the midwest, but there are plenty of places way better and cheaper than bowlero and I think the local populous knows. Because the bowlero by me is only ever full if a company is doing an event there. Otherwise the general consensus is "wtf no I don't want to go to the loud dark bowling alley with 9 dollar drinks and microwave wings"

I agree, and on paper you are correct. But also I have moved to the "it's the thought that counts" side of things. It seems to be more effective politicking these days to try and ram through something like an abortion EO and use the inevitable opposition (and legal?) pushback to say "see I'm fuckin trying over here" rather than to just stand there idly brandishing "plans" this is something the left needs to learn from the right. See the senate: Chuck Schumer should have started impeachment inquiries into Alito and Thomas yesterday, knowing full well they aren't actually going anywhere. It puts the issue in front of people.

I went through Ubuntu, Nobara, manjaro, mint, pop, Ubuntu again, and landed on open suse. I have no exotic hardware. My biggest issue was the pc going into hibernate and then never coming back. The secondary issue was getting certain games on steam to work and an Xbox controller. I seem to have all of that licked with suse and some tinkering. The battle I'm having now is when the pc goes to sleep/hibernate/whatever sometimes it completely forgets it's monitor settings and I have to turn the second monitor back on and then change them from 200% back to 100%. Which I thought I had solved by messing with the monitors.config file but I guess not...

Asus rog m16 laptop if that helps any.

I've had very bad luck trying to ditch windows. I've been through 6 or 7 different distros trying to find one that works properly with my pc. Somehow I've landed on open suse? That one seems to be cooperating, for the most part, for now. This whole experience has really showed me that Linux doesn't "just work" for normal people though, and anyone who is adamant about that doesn't understand the general populations capabilities.

Well I can't get an iso off of their own website to work so... Cool?

Most of these aircraft share pretty much non of their material with their original selves. Unfortunately it's rarely a mechanical failure that causes a crash.

Weeding out the spon-con is very difficult depending on the product. I was looking at solar generators a year ago and gave up with youtube because every single reviewer was provided the product they were using for free to review.

Is this the case that would have vaporized chevron or is there another horror waiting for us. My feeble not lawyer mind can only keep up with so many podcasts about this 😑
