blackstrat ( @blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk ) English19•1 year agoI tried Opensuse, I didn’t like it. It sort of felt just a bit off and I think a large majority of that was Yast’s fault. Debian and Arch based distros I think will remain my preference for some time given the recent events.
In my case I was ecosystem’d into RPM and Flatpak, so openSUSE makes me happy
blackstrat ( @blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk ) English4•1 year agoRPM just reminds me of my first experiences with Linux 20 years back. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience from what I remember and then
apt
came along and seemed to solve so much. It was so good and simpleapt update && apt upgrade
. I’ve never been tempted to go back really as I haven’t seen the need.apt
is to Debian and Ubuntu whatdnf
is to RHEL-based distros (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Alma/Rocky) orzypper
is to SUSE-based distros. RPM’s equivalent is dpkg
L3ft_F13ld! ( @Reorder9543@social.fossware.space ) English1•1 year agoIt took me a while to get used to openSUSE as well. I’ve been enjoying it though.
rattboi ( @rattboi@lemmy.one ) English1•1 year agoI think I’m with you. I have very smart friends who swear by tumbleweed though. I’m personally using Debian bases for work, and a mix of Arch and NixOS at home.
mifuyne ( @mifuyne@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoWhile this isn’t really the community for memes (we have !humor@beehaw.org), I won’t say no to the occasional meme as long it doesn’t incite a flame war or devolve into people making low effort comments. If people are having meaningful, healthy discussions in the comments, I don’t see the harm in keeping it up!
Hope that answers your question 🙂
comicallycluttered ( @comicallycluttered@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoDon’t get too attached. SUSE have their own plans for the future with their whole ALP thing. They say they’re going to leave Tumbleweed alone, but we’ll have to see how long that lasts.
Then again, ALP could fail miserably and they just go back to the traditional model.
leetnewb ( @leetnewb@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoALP has more to do with Leap than Tumbleweed.
comicallycluttered ( @comicallycluttered@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoYup, that’s why I mentioned that they said they’ll leave Tumbleweed as is.
Unfortunately, if these last few weeks have proved anything, it’s that you can’t necessarily trust the word of many software/tech companies.
I like to believe SUSE, and I hope they do continue to develop Tumbleweed separately, but I’m just not certain they’ll stick to their word in the longterm.
I’ll be more than happy if I’m proven wrong once ALP has shipped and in use for a couple of years and Tumbleweed is still going strong.
pkulak ( @pkulak@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year agoI actually have no real issue with RedHat still, but I moved from Silverblue to Nix just because this whole thing made me consider it again. Nix is amazing. Glad I switched.
Nyoelle ( @Nyoelle@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoYea, Nix is… very much comfy. To me the most comfy part of it though, is how easy it is to get ZFS-on-root setup there. Just… bliss.
pkulak ( @pkulak@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoI’m a BTRFS homey, but maybe this is the excuse I need to try out ZFS.
Nyoelle ( @Nyoelle@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoBoth are very cute and comfy But are very much different… A lot.
Also, it definitely won’t hurt to try out, so go for it :D
tom42 ( @tom42@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoNice that you ask. Personally I don’t like silly content in a tech community but I don’t mind it.
evirac ( @evirac@vlemmy.net ) English3•1 year agoFedora is still okay for me. For me, an operating system is just a tool not a political movement
agrammatic ( @agrammatic@feddit.de ) English3•1 year agoIt’s the first time in a decade that it crossed my mind to move away from Fedora at some point, if there’s a clear sign that it’s going the way of CentOS.
I hope I won’t have to though. Like everyone else, I had my distrohopping days, and Fedora’s the one that clicked for me. Please don’t make me have to use
apt
again :/ knowncarbage ( @knowncarbage@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English2•1 year agoInstalling Fedora last year was my first dnf distro.
It’s been quite nice but I’ll likely move to Void/Gentoo/Debian once support for 37 ends.
