I 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
RPM 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
aptcame 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.
It took me a while to get used to openSUSE as well. I’ve been enjoying it though.
I 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.
Don’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.
I 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.
@aes r/linuxmemes is leaking around this place already. Nice.
Fedora is still okay for me. For me, an operating system is just a tool not a political movement
