Day two of the server migration to #openSUSE Leap 16 is ongoing.
Today's goal: Migrate the home servers. Since this is a new Leap strain, I do a complete re-installation.

Almost an hour spent trying to figure out why Flatpak-installed apps looked different on openSUSE Tumbleweed and Void Linux, configured the same way.
I just could not make sense of it.
Then I realized one was running Xorg and the other Wayland.
Needless to say, that was the problem…
OK #fedora users: how are you doing Signal on desktop?
@vkc been using the #OpenSuse build service on Fedora 42: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=network:im:signal&package=signal-desktop
Sadly the package is/was broken for Fedora 43 due to missing dependencies and I just gave up and moved on to the official Flatpak.
Fells kind of bad though due to the security issues and it being not official.
@peteorrall in general, quite good. No major problems since May (when I re-started to use it).
@stefano Glad to hear you had good luck with it. #openSUSE has some interesting ideas and projects and I want to like it but based on my experiences with it over the past 20 years, it is not the distro for me.
However, my issues with it are, objectively speaking, firmly rooted in its architectural design and decisions.
The bad news: the last #openSUSE #Tumbleweed update broke something and every time I lock the screen, my mini pc hangs
The good news: I have a good reason to use #FreeBSD there
I'll probably revert to a previous snapshot, but meanwhile...

I am connected to an #openSUSE 11.0 machine (don't ask why). I can run #emacs with ediff to check the code's diff from git! That's the benefit of using stable tooling :-)
(Yeah for #Linux and #BoringTechnology)
Edit for clarity: openSUSE 11.0 was released in 2008, hence my happiness to have good tools that I use regularly 🤓

FreeBSD 15.0 (almost)-RELEASE, using pkgbase, on my Ryzen 9 MiniPC (and compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed):
- Full disk encryption works beautifully via GELI, as usual.
- Installing KDE is easy and it works perfectly on Wayland.
- All my main apps work. Others will run via the Linuxulator or Wine (Linux browsers, WinBox for MikroTik, etc).
- The fan seems more relaxed.
- The system generally feels snappier.
- Native ZFS. I can autosnapshot every 5 minutes. If I try to do this with btrfs - snapshots of the home directory included and quotas enabled - the system hangs while handling them (which is why Tumbleweed doesn’t snapshot home by default).
- The media keys on my keyboard work, but volume control uses huge steps and 30 percent is already extremely loud. This can be fixed. The monitor brightness setting is also a bit off, but I don't care.
- amdgpu works perfectly.
- The wifi card works. I haven’t tested the speed because I immediately installed the realtek-re-kmod driver to use the 2.5 Gbit ethernet connection.
- Suspend doesn’t work. This is a big problem for me. It’s probably more psychological than technical, but I can’t leave the computer powered for hours when I’m not using it. I already have servers running 24/7 here. I even considered putting my Qotom FreeBSD server in a VM. It would probably work, but next summer it might be an issue because temperatures here aren’t low and spinning disks don’t love heat (and I don’t love their noise).
- It’s stable and reliable. I’ve done almost everything and it just works, as expected.
- Some small glitches remain, mostly due to missing configuration or packages (I didn’t tune anything. I just installed it and started using it).
A much smoother experience than a year ago, when I bought it.
Will I keep using FreeBSD on this minipc?
I’m not sure yet, since Tumbleweed works great and the lack of suspend really influences my choice. I'll contact Aymeric and try to offer some help to improve this.
For now, I’ll keep it on an external SSD and switch from time to time, especially when I know I’ll be using the minipc for hours.
@pallenberg Du wirst schon das passende System für dich finden.
Bei meinen Versuchen ist mir #opensuse sehr positiv aufgefallen. Es läuft alles, ohne dass man im Terminal oder Treiber suchen muss. Am Ende war mir Zuverlässigkeit wichtiger, und die habe ich mit #linuxmint gefunden. 🏁
The #Aeon Desktop's GTK4 graphics issue (making apps that include Nautilus/Files unusable) has been resolved in the snapshot I installed today.
This also goes for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is where Aeon gets its packages
#opensuse Leap 16.0 is out! I have some free time today so I'd figure I'd try it out in a VM.
Initial impressions:
New, streamlined installer just requires a few clicks with minimal input required. In a few minutes the installer finished. Rebooted and BAM! The OS boots straight into this mess!
This is not XFCE with Wayland. Time to troubleshoot.
...sigh...
I thought I'd give openSUSE a try. It's been several years, and I wanted to evaluate KDE on it. The installer never asked if I wanted a desktop environment and didn't install any at all - but the site says it's an installer option.
What am I missing?
