¿Sabían que el nombre de la distribución SUSE Linux es originalmente un acrónimo en alemán y un homenaje al pionero de la informática Konrad Zuse?

Fundada el 2 de septiembre de 1992 en Núremberg, Alemania, por tres estudiantes y un ingeniero (Roland Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Burchard Steinbild y Hubert Mantel), la empresa se llamó inicialmente Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH. Sin embargo, para fines comerciales utilizaron el acrónimo S.u.S.E., que significa Software- und System-Entwicklung (Desarrollo de Software y Sistemas). El nombre también fue elegido para honrar a Konrad Zuse, quien construyó la Z3, la primera computadora programable y totalmente automática del mundo.

Originalmente, SUSE no era una distribución propia, sino que el equipo se dedicaba a vender manuales de Linux y paquetes de soporte para distribuciones existentes como Slackware y SLS (Softlanding Linux System). No fue hasta 1994 que lanzaron su primera distribución completa, S.u.S.E. Linux 1.0. Años más tarde, en 1996, lanzaron la versión 4.2, la cual incluyó por primera vez YaST (Yet another Setup Tool), la herramienta de configuración que se convirtió en el sello distintivo de la distribución por su capacidad para simplificar la administración del sistema.

Shame to see the #YaST go because focusing to the cloud control and #dev not interested of rewriting the thing.
always pain in the #arse to use #three different tools for a thing that was done by one #wholesome #sweet before in #SuSE .
I strongly believe that more distros should adopt MX Linux's set of GUI-based configuration tools, instead of assuming that every window manager ships with a decent effigy of the #Windows Control Panel or expecting every user to get cozy with the terminal.
Scripts and invocations are cool, but they shouldn't be the only way to interact with the computer).

Who knows, maybe OpenSUSE's #YAST is better.

on break from @opensuse contributions until 26th February because of $reason

but before then i worked on some #Agama and #Yast #yast2 things

@blogg @daniel Svenska saknas dock sa HuHa i #yast på Libera åt mig, ska försöka hinna titta på det under nästa vecka då jag har det lite lugnare igen

Myrlyn 1.0 Released For Package Manager GUI Spawned By SUSE's Hack Week

Myrlyn 1.0 was released today as the package manager GUI developed by SUSE engineers and started out just over one year ago during a SUSE Hack Week event as a SUSE/Qt package manager program not dependent upon YaST or Ruby.

Als ich das erste mal Linux installiert hatte war ich Stolz wie Erich. Kein Handbuch, nicht genug RAM für GUI #yast, aber ich habe alles selbst herausgefunden. Und nach etwas Schrottplatz RAM kam ich zu SaX, ind so zu #KDE 1. Der Rote Hintergrund mit dem Bomben weil ich als root eingeloggt war 😁

Es endete so das ich Mitte 2007 #Windows privat komplett aufgab.

Bis heute ist der erste Blick den ich bei einer Anschaffung mache der Gebrauchtmarkt.

"Bridge YaST & Cockpit Gaps”… oh really?

So let me get this straight,
We move away from YaST,
and now we’re trying to bring YaST back inside Cockpit?

Amazing plot twist. Didn’t see that one coming. It’s like throwing something out the window and then climbing outside to pick it up again because "actually I still need it." 🤦‍♂️

openSUSE devs never fail to entertain.😅
