openSUSE News

Today marks seven days since I switched from Zorin 18 (which I liked very much) to openSUSE  Tumbleweed.
Honestly? The name just felt like a sign... it aligns perfectly with my medicine routine ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿฅฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚ lol

Jokes aside, I really like how it handles Flatpaks (sandboxed for the win!). Zorin 18 also worked great with Flatpaks and was generally much easier to set up in many ways, but it was time to try something else.

So far, so good!
I had to change a few settings, and the new terminal threw me off a bit at first, but now everything is working perfectly.

I'm pretty sure I'll switch from #Opensuse #tumbleweed to #ubuntu
I don't have anything against Tumbleweed and I like it, but during last full month I had only 30 minutes to even turn on the PC (which was today), which I wasted trying to install one thing from source fixing few errors one after another, because this thing has no package available except for Ubuntu. And it's not the first time.

So no hard feelings, just need of convenience caused by lack of time.

Nachlese #Linux Installationspary am 27. Februar.
Es waren insgesamt 3 Teilnehmer neben den Mitgliedern da.
* Davon war eine Person schon mit dem zweiten PC/Notebook da um dort auch #openSUSEtumbleweed mit #KDEPlasma zu installieren
* Eine mit der ersten Installation (ebenfalls #openSUSE #Tumbleweed mit #KDE)
* Eine hatte schon selbst #LinuxMint installiert und hatten sich mit #tails beschรคftigt und hatte eher privacy fragen.
