Ist es ein „Hot Take“, wenn ich sage, dass ich mich mit #ArchLinux langsam ausgespielt habe? 🐧💨

Nach der ganzen Bastelei sehne ich mich nach etwas mehr Konservatismus, ohne auf aktuelle Pakete zu verzichten.

Mein Blick wandert aktuell stark Richtung #openSUSE Tumbleweed oder vielleicht sogar ein immutables #Fedora.

Ist das der natürliche Alterungsprozess eines Linux-Users oder einfach der Wunsch nach einem System, das „einfach funktioniert“?

Wer hat den Wechsel von Arch zu etwas „Gefestigterem“ schon hinter sich?

And by the way, I decided to give OpenSUSE Tumbleweed another try today. Since Debian has its little quirks with my keyboards and I don’t want to use a distribution with a U.S. background like Fedora, OpenSUSE would be the politically correct choice for me as a European solution.

Duda de #opensuse #tumbleweed ¿es habitual que haya errores al hacer un zypper dup de incompatibilidades?

Apparently my OS install is eight and a half years old 😁 I know this because someone in the forum thread noticed that I still had ffmpeg 4 installed rather than ffmpeg 8 and asked how old my system was.

`sudo btrfs subvolume show /.snapshots|grep Creation` gives you a creation date for btrfs subvolumes (which Snapper uses for snapshots). And mine reports October 2017.

This is the power of rolling distros and filesystem-level snapshots!

(My system may actually be a bit less than that, because I might have had to reinstall once and just reused the volumes - but that's the only date that I can find)

Liegt es an #Leap, oder an mir?

Wer mich kennt, der weiß das ich viel und gerne #openSUSE #Tumbleweed benutze. Nun habe ich als Hauptsystem ein Rechner mit vorinstallierten Leap ergattert und stoße immer wieder auf Probleme, die müsselig per Terminal aus dem Weg geschaffen werden müssen. Soviel gebastel war ich unter #Tumbleweed nicht gewohnt. Kleinste Änderungen an der Firewall, dem CUP-Server, der Repository-Liste usw.

Found someone suggesting that it could be libav. But I've got gstreamer-plugins-libav, which is pulling in libavcodec62.

And if I re-enable Packman and install their bad/ugly-codecs then it STILL doesn't work. I'm missing something and I can't see what.

Balls and bugger it. Time for a rollback. Thank goodness for Snapper! #openSUSE #Tumbleweed #Btrfs

Well, this is fun.

I've got the `repo-openh264` repo configured (codecs.opensuse.org) and it has a `gstreamer-plugin-openh264` package available. But it's only v1.22 and GStreamer is at 1.28 in #openSUSE #Tumbleweed now. And if I install it then one of the conflicts indicates that it's now bundled in `gstreamer-plugins-bad` (and I can see a SO file in the list)

That repo has the `mozilla-openh264` package as well.

There's a different version of of libopenh264 with a version string that includes `noopenh264`, but it's from repo-oss.

If I run `ffmpeg -codecs | grep 264` then I get a line ` ..V.LS h264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10`, so it knows SOMETHING about the codec.

But even after switching packages, ffplay still gives "No decoder could be found for codec h264" and Videos gives "requires a H.264 (Baseline Profile) decoder plugin, which is not installed" 😐

And I can't just uninstall and reinstall the whole of GStreamer because that rips out loads of other packages with it (and ignoring the dependencies defeats the idea of "try to clean it up")

Tried to upgrade #openSUSE #Tumbleweed. Got some weird errors because #Packman has some syncing issues or something.

Read a post that said "You don't need Packman anyway these days! Just use distro libraries unless you're doing something unusual"

Switched packages back. Tried playing a video. "Nope - no h264 support".

Awesome. So "watching a video" is considered "unusual" by some people 🙄

(Yes, it's a patent-encumbered codec, but if even DECODING the average video that you get DRM-free from GOG is "unusual" then you're only doing very boring stuff on your machine!)

@opensuse #Tumbleweed
Review of the week 2026/11

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Tumbleweed is rolling full steam ahead with 7 snapshots in 7 days (0312 through 0318). No major issues have shown up in openQA – everything was detected and fixed in the staging areas.

Without further ado, let’s look at what those snapshots brought you this week:
* libzypp 17.38.4 / zypper 1.14.95 / libsolv 0.7.36
* sdbootutil 20260311 & 20260313
* Mesa 26.0.2
* cURL 8.19.0
* Linux kernel 6.19.7 & 6.19.8
* php 8.4.19
* systemd 259.5
* KDE Frameworks 6.24.0
* gimp 3.2.0
* kbd 2.9.0
* pipewire 1.6.2
* Ruby 4.0.2
* elfutils 0.194
* gpg 2.5.18

Let’s see if we can keep that pace next week, and if so, what changes you can expect:
* GCC 16: build fix for s390x
* Linux kernel 6.19.9
* Switch default bootloader on uefi systems to systemd-boot (aligning tumbleweed to microos)
* cmake 4.3.0
* LLVM 22
* GCC 16 as the default compiler
* Autoconf 2.73.0: currently the bate staged to identify issues
* GNOME 50: Final is staged for QA, some sec reviews and 3rd party package fixes pending
* glibc 2.43: metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi? id=1257250

Cheers,
Dominique Leuenberger
