So I am having trouble putting my finger on WHY I like OpenSUSE. I want to start with potential problems first:
1) dependency hell
There have been issues when installing software (previous install)
where I had to try to repair the dependencies
2) Printer support is a flipping mystery. Only one of my printers is even SEEN...
Aside from that I don't have many complaints.
Why do I like it then?
1) I have never met a version of KDE that I liked prior to this.
It is smooth, flawless, no issues. The KDE app suite is also good.
2) While I prefer to use zypper, YaST seems to be competent.
3) Performance is good!
I know, no hard numbers to back things up regarding performance.
With Mint and other linux distros I tend to install kernels like xanmod or liquorice. But I haven't had the urge to do that with OpenSUSE, perhaps partly because I am afraid to, or perhaps because the KDE UI is actually quite snappy and responsive, and when I game there doesn't seem to be any reason to NEED a performance kernel.
Anyway, I am enjoying OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, let's see how long that lasts.
