2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    OpenSUSE is the "all of the above" of Linux distros

    [–] Asetru@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    It is? I had tumbleweed installed and switched to fedora after only a few weeks because it kept freezing.

    [–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Weird. I promptly tried Fedora and switched to Tumbleweed after Fedora kept crashing soon after startup. Hardware configuration probably affects the outcome a lot.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

    The only fair comparison of Linux distros is always on devices of Linux vendors as they both pick the right hardware as well as merge Kernel patches if necessary.

    I do however concur that OpenSuse offers basically everything. Except for intuitive system settings - but at least they're all there, you never really have to use the CLI. Other than with others who will eventually lack something. Also the bootable btrfs snapshots by default are a dream for common users.

    oh my girlfriend's laptop also just keeps freezing with opensuse. do you have an nvidia card by any chance?

    [–] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

    nvidia card by any chance?

    I think random freezing is one of the symptoms of installing it with Ventoy. Ventoy mucks up one of the installer flags or something like that, so even the wiki indicates it's not supported. (Neither is installing it from the Live tester, if I'm not mistaken.)

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

    Correct! Ventoy adds boot parameters on its own, screwing up some fundamental settings (sth. that can happen on any distro that isn't making the user configure everything by hand). It's also a questionable piece of software on its own given the binary blob it adds to every stick… do not use it.

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

    oh well, i guess it must be a different problem on my gf's laptop since we used dd to put the iso in a pen drive

    That's what I expect when it gets labelled as Germany
