It's okay openSUSE Tumbleweed. I still stan for you. ;P

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

openSUSE is GOAT.

I'm a CachyOS shill, and I'd recommend Tumbleweed to anyone. It's criminal that folks use stuff like Ubuntu or Manjaro over it.

I chuckled when I saw Manjaro of all things on there, and not my beloved OS of choice! lol

For real, though, openSUSE is truly something to rave about, as far as I am concerned! :)

Now that zypper has been pulled into the modern age with parallel & faster downloading, the only complaint remaining I have for it is the installer itself

[–] LucidNightmare@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

I kind of liked the installer, but that is because I am a huge Fallout fan and liked the black with green theme you could use when I installed it about a year ago.. I am but a simple person... lol :P

Really wanna try a perma switch from Fedora just cuz they include a nice grub theme lmao.

Plus I like that its proper rolling instead of staged releases.

Even though I think it’s generally frowned upon to use, I use GRUB Customizer from the Discover Store, and change the theme to a Fallout style one, if that would be easier for you to use!

I’ve had one or two hiccups when updating openSUSE Tumbleweed. Once was just a normal update, back then I was doing it weekly since I basically only game on my desktop, but it completely broke my graphics for whatever reason. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I attribute it to that.

Luckily, Tumbleweed has that snapper component, and I used it for the first time. Absolutely amazing I could just run that and then be back in a working state at the shake of a lambs tail. I just started updating monthly after that, and so far, no hiccups!
