F’em.
This is one Linux I haven’t played with yet.
openSUSE? For starters, it needs a new name.
Because the world can’t do without X-1 Linux distros?
openSUSE?????
Talk about Newspeak Doublethink
How is Ubuntu doing?
I’d hardly call OpenSUSE “famous”.
They are doing the same thing to an alternative internet protocol called Gemini I have been playing with. As soon as they get a hint you might be Conservative they gang jump you. It is preventing the project from expanding as fast as it should be. And too bad because it is a really cool secure P2P alternet protocol. But it is open source and could be forked off and one of our own built. Just ditch the whole crew...
Fork’em
openSUSE should add more useless and clueless people to their Human Resources department. That should fix the problem.
Why do I have to think of everything?
Lol, I was wondering if someone was going to bite at that as soon as I hit the post button... :)
SuSE was the first Linux OS I ever tried and really liked it way back in the early 00s.
The only thing it couldn’t do was find a driver to my printer. I think it was an Epson.
Have used Mint. Like it, but I was wondering if Ubuntu/Mint also succumbed to the wokisms.
I like Mint too. It is my daily driver. But for the adventurer I found one that is pretty cool. Easy OS, It is designed to be super secure and run completely from a stick and in ram without leaving a trace on the machine. The OS is basically a virtual machine builder as a base protocol. You can clone the OS on the fly with one click into isolated containers.
“Have used Mint. Like it, but I was wondering if Ubuntu/Mint also succumbed to the wokisms.”
I know one thing... They are driving me away with all the recent Microsoftish style tactics. So they probably are. Like MS they are now fixing things that do not need to be fixed. They are dumping new version after new version on us when it is completely unnecessary. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, leave it alone and just make minor improvements rather than whole distro releases every couple months.
Now they have even scrubbed all the old versions off the net and they are no longer available. You can’t even get 18.3 for 32 bit or 64 bit anymore so you can use them on older computers. They are forcing folks to use their newer versions and it starts to smell of MS proprietary tactics. Those very tactics is what drove a lot of folks like myself away from MS.
I don’t care if it is “supported” or not, I still need to use the older versions sometimes. And except for the kernel which can be upgraded yourself easily 18.3 was the best. And the 32 bit version was the one to go to for older computers. They have made sure they are not available anywhere...
