I've been on 15.6 since Alpha and loving it. Especially with the current issues in Tumbleweed and KDE 6. I'll be switching another laptop to Leap 16 when that comes out.

I'm liking that 15.6 wallpaper on your screen.

Such a recognizable wallpaper on the screen behind you ;-) Many thanks for doing the review!

This is probably too late after the fact, but there is a flatpak for Teams that uses the web api. Seems to work fine.

Good review as always. I hope your brother enjoys OSLeap and incline more towards Linux as primary operating system.

Hello tahnks for this video. In fact, there is no skype for Suse or Linux, I mean, an ".rpm" package or ".deb" package, just snap package. On skype site you can use the browser or use a snap. I agree with you that every distro have issues: on Debian I can't make my HP Advantage wokrs, or, it works when it wants....but I can install TeXmacs to write my texts....in Opensuse my HP Advantage works out of the box, but to install TeXmacs is very complicated and some times installs a lot of repositories that I don't choose and that don't work...but I prefer Suse over Debian...Suse is much more agnostic or silent about politics. Best wishes from Brazil (soputh)...

The correct way to change the default zone is by actually clicking on "Zones" and then it lists all the zones and which one is the actual default. It shows a check mark . You select the zone you want to make the default one and click on the "Set As Default" button. This also results in it adding your network interface to the screen where you had just the docker one.

I do hope that at some point, Yast will be a thing of the past as it's really gotten long in the tooth and some of the things in there were not very intuitive. At least to me.

On more gotcha for those of you who have scanners with non-opensource drivers. Opensuse by default deactivates all the drivers /etc/sane.d/dll.conf . They use a script to then detect if the newly inserted USB device has a driver available and activates it. In theory, well their theory this helps mitigate security issues. In practice, it deviates from the sane project's default settings and wastes one's time :/

I was running Tumbleweed for around two years and it was great but I didn't need so many updates after all.. And now I'm under Debian 12 (via SpiralLinux KDE) which is also great but not that polished as opposed to OpenSUSE..

So this is tempting.. I may switch back to Leap in the end =)

[ovidiuov]

Alongside Debian, OpenSuse is one of the oldest and mature distributions. If you look for a stable distribution and you want to focus on what you need to do, not on the operating system, then Leap is a good choice. Is also a good choice because is flexible, if you don't want a bloated system you can do a server install, choose the base pattern you want for your DE and finally you install only what you'll use.

So do we get the Latest Stable Version of Firefox browser on Open Suse Leap like in Windows PC ?
What version of Firefox Available in Open Suse15.6 Now ?
Can we use Hyprland Window Manager in Open Suse 15.6 ?
