Happy 18th Birthday to openSUSE! It’s that time of the year once again where we will raise our virtual glasses and celebrate the remarkable journey of open-s...
Really liked SUSE back in the 00s. I found .deb and apt never gave me a breakage so I never returned, but I’m sure they have something more sophisticated these days too.
Yast and zypper are pretty cool in their own right.
I left OpenSuse Tumbleweed because I couldn’t get UE5 to run, which is probably more an Nvidia problem than a Suse problem. I had a long history with Debian-based distros but I really enjoyed my time on Tumbleweed otherwise. I just don’t think a rolling distro is a great idea when running Nvidia. The drivers are too finicky.
To be fair, openSUSE broke less for me than Arch with NVIDIA, so I guess credit where it’s due. I recently switched to an AMD GPU and haven’t had a single Tumbleweed breakage since, at least nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a reboot (had some weird wayland rendering glitches).
It makes me less angry than any other OS so far (3-4 years now), so I’ll probably stick around awhile.
