From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion (discuss.tchncs.de)

Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I've seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others' experience with doing so has been.

Why not moving to microos? I've moved to fedora silverblue from fedora and it's been a well rewarding journey. I see no big difference to microos

Is microOS KDE a thing already? Last I checked, it was still hella broken.

There is progress, but still not fit for everyday use.

That's what I've seen so far as well. Definitely would try it out once it's ready tho!

How is opensuse with Codecs? I am on Fedora Kinoite from ublue, currently experimenting with secureblue, which is security hardened.

Fedoras immutable Distros have a good ecosystem around them already.

I tried microOS once, either podman or distrobox are completely broken on it
