Paul KaterSaved a laptop from an early Windows 10 grave today.Friend did NOT want to invest in a new laptop and worried about windows 11 (with good reason), so I put OpenSuse on his machine (after backups of course).One happy chappy left with the machine, which is running faster than it ever did on Windows.

Pete Orrall<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@stefano</a> openSUSE has come a long way. My first experience with it was SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 back in 2005. Desktop Linux was still in its early stages then and it did alright. A little buggy in some places but otherwise OK. I used its enterprise variants over the years, rather enjoyably.I used it again briefly on another build in 2013. Just after restoring my data into a freshly installed system, the OS locked up *hard*. After the reboot, everything and I mean *everything* I had just restored to /home/pete was gone. Including the rest of my profile. The directory was empty. I went back to Debian as a daily driver and didn't touch openSUSE for almost a decade.I decided to try both Tumbleweed and Leap 15 on a spare laptop. Yes, both are stable and have improved over the years. I prefer Leap over Tumbleweed. Unfortunately, due to that one data loss experience I am skeptical of using it (as a daily driver). I hope you have a much better experience with it.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/suse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensuse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a>

In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options.

Papa Maccus Primus<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@chesheer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chesheer</a> Personally I love <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/YaST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YaST</a> and much prefer it over editing text files or doing advanced things in the terminal. It's advanced and pretty intuitive. I don't use it much but I love knowing it's there for me, and it was the major reason I went with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/OpenSuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSuse</a>. Having to do local things in a web browser (Cockpit) just seems wrong to me and it'll probably mean I'll forget the tool is even there. But time will tell I guess.

chesheerSo it appears, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openSUSE</a> retires YaST in favor of Cockpit and Myrlyn. Leap 16.0 beta no longer has it, but it remains in Tumbleweed for now, no longer in development, though. I've never used Cockpit or Myrlyn, but YaST always seemed to me barely usable. I remember openSUSE in 00's bragging about YaST as a purely GUI tool for system management, so you no longer need to open terminal, ever. Well, it was somewhat unwieldy back then: long loading screens every time you open settings, somewhat chaotic UX. Almost twenty years later YaST still remains the same: same loading screens, same necessity to learn tabs and flags and what they do instead of just opening text file and changing things like you do. Anyway, apart from my ramblings, it's a huge change. YaST always has been one of the selling points of openSUSE, AFAIR. Now it's gone. Hope Cockpit and Myrlyn are better. <a href="https://news.opensuse.org/2025/04/30/leap-16-enters-beta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.opensuse.org/2025/04/30/leap-16-enters-beta/</a>
