      I used Fedora as my main for over a decade, but now I question the future of Fedora with all the crap IBM is pulling.

          Cinnamon doesn’t work properly across multiple monitors. Your task manager thing doesn’t stay in sync. The one that says it works with multiple monitors just… doesn’t.

          Plasma hasn’t given me any issues, but Mint doesn’t have a KDE distribution. So I’ve been on KDE Neon.

          I never managed to break it. While all the *buntu distros tended to just fall apart after a while.

          Also you can update after 3 months and zypper will happily process the 6800 changed packages.

          Finally it has the best KDE out there, so it was a natural choice.

            Sounds great! Tumbleweed has always sounded like a stable rolling-release distro, kind of strange that it never got the attention like Arch or Arch-based distros.

              The whole OpenSuSE/SuSE community seems to be on the quiet side for some reason. I never really understood why either. It’s one of the old traditional distributions that’s doing a lot of stuff in the background, but nobody ever hears or talks about it. They even have fun songs.

              Maybe it’s because it’s based in Europe (although I would have seen that as a bonus point)?

              I don’t even know if it’s very common in the enterprise world, I’ve never actually even seen it there, although I’ve seen lots of Redhat. But according to Wikipedia, it’s out there.

                I’ve only meddled with openSUSE a little bit but I suspect it’s due to several reasons. Firstly, perhaps the lack of marketing. You hear news about Ubuntu and Fedora and NixOS and stuff, but never really about openSUSE, I think? Maybe they do promotions but I don’t know about them that much. As you said, they do a lot of stuff but in the background. Perhaps they’re really more of a technical distribution, for sysadmins and some users?

                  They often tend to sell it as a distribution for developers. for some reason. I don’t write much code any more and just use it (tumbleweed) as my main system for general use. I never really noticed it being any different from any other operating system. You just install whatever you need. In my case, I take notes, edit photos, play games from Steam, and do the usual Internet stuff. Mostly what most users do.

                    I see. Yea, someone I know has used Tumbleweed before and it seems fine. Stable and solid. Just out of curiosity, what Steam games do you play? Do you use Proton?
