not_amm,

Does anybody know if there will be more providers or the option to add your own for the Weather widget/app?

not_amm,

I used to “virtual distro hop” because I tried a lot of distros in VMs before dualbooting. I installed Tumbleweed and haven’t changed ever since.

I don’t regret keeping my distro, I’ve been curious, of course, but I think i already have it all:

  • Stability
  • The newest updates
  • I know my system very well
  • By knowing my system, I can fix most problems and I know where to go if I can’t.

I sometimes try distros in VMs, but with that and Distrobox I think I already have everything I could need to learn and try them in case I need to work with them in the future :)

not_amm,

I wish I could go to some libraries, in my city they’re almost all in the city’s center. Good for you, though! :D

not_amm,

Bruh, I only use my printer/scanner to scan documents and I prefer to go to a store to print things. I get charged $0.03USD (I’m not from the US though) for every printed page, which is WAY cheaper than buying an ink cartridge from HP.

not_amm, (edited )

There’s a book called Opt-Out from Rory Price about a future where humanity starts using AR more and more to the point that it’s almost obligatory to have a device of this kind for everything, even as ID. It then talks about a group that develops a free/libre version of this device’s OS and they have to decide about personal issues or try to maintain their views. It’s entertaining and not too long, but I think it shows a very possible future.

I haven’t heard from its author in some time, but I think they discovered they were someone else too ;), that’s why I love this book.

not_amm,

I almost did that with python2. Also, some programs just have weird libraries that I’ve been close to uninstall, then see 4705894095 programs that would be uninstalled along with it.

not_amm,

I constantly ran –allow-vendor-change in openSUSE Tumbleweed. I had installed extra codecs with the OPI commando and always had problems with media files, mostly in Firefox. Also, I installed Kvantum and bugged some themes, disabled Akonadi and KDE was acting weird, etc.

Finally, I decided to delete the openSUSE partition, allocate more space (reducing Windows partition) and then reinstalling. I’m good now :)

not_amm,

My only issue is software availability and management. I use the Packman repository to manage codecs and I avoid using the change vendor option; i used to change the vendor every time and ended up with a broken system, so I reinstalled and also resized my partition because I dual boot. I haven’t had problems at all.

You only need to pay attention for your needs, I recently installed systemd networking packages because they don’t come preinstalled, and YaST is very helpful in some situations like installing patterns (multiple related packages at once), mostly desktop environments. I gotta say that the openSUSE Wiki may not be enough to understand, but there is an official forum and you can also look at the Arch wiki.

Btw, GNOME is the official DE used by the developers, but KDE Plasma works very well, and all of them update constantly, you’ll have available updates every week.

not_amm,

I have to use Chocolatey, Winget, Windows Store and invididual updating to use the tools I need in Windows, It’s ridiculous. I only use Flatpak and Zypper in my Linux partition.

not_amm,

Very nice
