OpenSuse Tumbleweed 90 day review. Yep, it's still awesome

I've been running OpenSuse Tumbleweed for about 90 days now, and I'm still as happy with it as I was at 30 days. It's here to stay.

old geezer noob here, was scared away from this distro because of the horror stories about installing, watched the video and installed. Easiest install I have ever had with Linux. Remembered to turn off firewall and had the easiest printer install ever. I usually have to fight this, could be why. Anyways, have a good day and thank you!

Same distro here, it's a great one indeed. When you have a AMD GPU + rolling release like Tumbleweed, is ultra-stable. Nvidia users might be more comfortable with Leap + proprietary drivers (better performances than open source unfortunately and they must pay extra attention on Kernel updates). Enjoy :)

Ok I think ima try to install this on a pc I got collecting dust and learn Linux .. and so on!

I'm considering using this as my first rolling release, very comfortable with my Ubuntu but I'm looking to move to OpenSuse, how often should I update? Is once a week good enough?

I think I had the same black screen issue as well, but only on KDE Wayland. I rotated a display and reverted the change and it was reestablished.

Tumbleweed with Hyprland and Plasma is as good as it gets. I started my Linux journey in June 2023 and hopped. Debian with Plasma was the benchmark for many months. Debian doesn't offer Hyprland and that's a shame. Tumbleweed is really terrific.

Much doc says in TW you should not do zupper up but zypper dup

Nice video. In KDE what worked for me, to change settings on the monitor to set input scan to manual. Ever since it's working like a charm. I'm not on OpenSuse, even though I do like it, it somehow isn't really responsive on my systems. I don't mean boot times as I'm not too much interested in that....but once in it feels sluggish. Hope the screen setting change is helpfull to anybody as it's a simple thing to do.

Great content! Where can I find such a great wallpaper? :)

Been a long time since I tried opensuse, found your video doing a little research, now I just wonder if you are a regular AA:PG player, haha

how can to make kernel 6.3.7 when i download opensuse ita on latest kernel already

[alexstone]

Its kinda suprising how polished the iso is, with the script to mount the system for rescue and i have not seen in ANY of the major distros
Had issues when installing on my laptop that EFI install did not boot, always failed to install grub even manually but BIOS/legacy worked great!

This distro is really underrated. Yet to have an update break the system in months but Endeavour OS broke within a month just from updating

[justinreyes]

always appreciate your videos man. are you also a programmer / software dev?

[baileyboy]

We use leap in work for our CAM department. Its always been a stable OS over the years but I've always been put off using it personally as when there has been errors i've just found it so hard to find any information. I've always used Kubuntu where any problem with it then i find pages and pages of information.

I noticed Path of Exile on your desktop. I'm running it on my home machine windows 10 and do want to move my main rig to a linux flavour as all my little promox machines are running some kind of linux distro. How do you find POE runs on suse?

[fizsrp]

So far I love it.. but I got a super noob question.. how do I stop it from hibernation or sleep ? I want to stay on at all times.. thanks in advance to however helps me!

[no_name]

I honestly tried opensuse tumbleweed only because it's the only distro which support hyprland very well, and arch and nix are too complex and crazy for me.

Now i love it!

What is the reset thing you talked about if an update breaks? I run TW but haven't heard of that. I have the same problem with dual monitors and kde

Facecam is little too small, I think it would be a better viewing experience if you increased the size of it next time.
