openSUSE Reviews and details

• Problem with freshly installed Discord on MicroOS

  I don't understand. What is the alternative way to install codecs on a Tumbleweed/Leap system? There are instructions on how to use the Packman repositories for multimedia on opensuse.org so it is easy for one to assume that this is the recommended proper method. Source: 5 months ago

• Something wrong with the Opensuse Leap 15.4 repositories?

  That's the problem, The error messages just that. I tried to download libOpenCL.so.1 because Resolve needs that to run, and every repository my system attempts to reach fails to download. The repository (all coming from opensuse.org by the way) links appear to not have any valid metadata on them, then says the repository types can't be determined, and it moves on to the other links, which also get similar...

• Update: I notice that they've replaced the leap 15.4 ad with MicroOS now.

  I've noticed on opensuse.org, you will now see a link to download micro os. Source: over 1 year ago

• I know I sound dumb but legitimately have no idea

  Why not try it out? You might like it! It's not popular amongst desktops but many users who tried (including me) prefers it over Windows. I would recommend trying out OpenSUSE. You could install it on a virtual machine such as virtualbox if you don't want to affect your existing ones. Source: over 1 year ago

• is it just me or has TW been super buggy lately?

  TW with KDE is runs fine without any issues on my laptop. Have you downloaded the iso from opensuse.org and checked the checksum after download? Maybe your iso was faulty. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why Suse and Redhat don't care about laptops or pc gaming? Someone can say: They are in servers... well yes, Microsoft is in the server market and also they are doing a Microsoft Surface gaming laptop

  Fedora is the Red Hat desktop distro, though the history is a bit more complicated. It's freely downloadable here.. If you really want to pay, RHEL does have a enterprise desktop as well. Suse is similar in that the parent company sells support and solutions, with a free version available here. Source: over 1 year ago

• Suggestions for OpenSUSE Micro OS

  And a suggestion to put some "Micro OS" link on opensuse.org web page. I could only install once I clicked on "I want to install Tumbleweed". Source: over 1 year ago

• A Fork in the Road by openSUSE Board

  Something is obviously wrong, I've been going over the opensuse.org site and can't find anything about the board, its members, or any way of contacting them. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is MicroOS good for daily driver?

  Is it really considered ready? If so, why hasn't MicroOS been added to the main opensuse.org like Silverblue at getfedora.org? Currently there's just Leap and Tumbleweed. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Podman containers are crashing with an error "file exists".

  I'm running, or I was running, podman containers on my Raspberry Pi 4 where I have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed, and since podman is not in the repos for this Ubuntu version I added a Kubic repo hosted on opensuse.org. Podman was configured to run rootless on this system. Source: about 2 years ago

• Installed a Linux distro without verifying the ISO, now am scared the iso could've been a malicious one, even though I don't see any signs on malware. Secure Boot was enabled. Am I just being overly paranoid? Any tools I can use to check for malware?

  Very unlikely someone out there is infecting linux isos (Yes its done before), but if you are downloading from trusted sources like from the actual home site (https://opensuse.org) you should have little to no concern. Source: about 2 years ago

  Did you download it from the official website (https://opensuse.org)? If yes, then there is nothing to worry about. Source: about 2 years ago

• I consider openSUSE the best Linux distribution, but it suffers from being too little known

  As far as support and stuff, I personally think we should focus on steering people to the opensuse.org wiki and trying to get people to update it. I update things as I do/use them, but a lot of pages are really behind. It is one of the better wikis out there though. Also, the openSUSE discord is nice; there are friendly and helpful people on there. Source: over 2 years ago

• Good distro for learning Linux professionally.

  The "professional" linux distros are RedHat (Fedora) and SUSE (openSUSE), both are .rpm based, but that's not really important, and a lot of the web runs on Debian-based distros. Source: over 2 years ago

• Failing to install FFMPEG- ?

  I'm currently running Leap 15.2 and wanted to install FFMPEG 4.4 as it is a requirement for another program I want to run. I idea I'd try the official way first‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­and went to https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=ffmpeg-4&project=openSUSE%3ALeap%3A15.2 where I followed the instructions to install manually (the 'grab binary packages directly' link gave me a source file). ​ Following the...

• My first ThinkPad. I’m now a member of the cult 😬😂

  Try openSUSE, everything just works, you don't get the spyware Ubuntu ships, and it has automatic snapshots, meaning you can rollback in case you messed up. You can go with "I don't want updates" (enterprise grade) and upgrade every year (Leap) or "I want always the latest version" and get updates as soon as possible (Tumbleweed). Plus, the community is awesome. Check it out on https://opensuse.org. Source: over 2 years ago

• Opensuse.org blocked in Sweden?

  I think they are having a DNS issue. When I do a lookup of opensuse.org I get no IP and when I look at the whois information for opensuse.org I see that there was an update today:. Source: over 2 years ago

• I’m looking for an easy to use but very private distro

  I'd recommend you look into either Ubuntu or openSUSE. Source: almost 3 years ago
