Hades Baldur's Gate 3 Witcher 3 Dark Souls 3 Elden Ring Path of Exile II Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch II?) Z BotW II

First sane comment here.

So funny that almost nobody got certs working in IT, same for me basically, I have a BA in Business Administration and thats it. ^^;

I use riverwm on my private laptop, which I don't use regularly. My biggest problem is its departure from ordinary WMs way of starting itself. I think this causes quite some issues with dbus sessions etc. which are troublesome to fix.

then the legend should be fixed its confusing, as is the whole idea of FHS is outdated and a chore for new users to get into (i still don't fully understand it)

• difference between /media and /mnt
• wtf is /run? some glorified /temp?
• /usr/sbin "non vital system binaries" ... aha ok, whatever don't tell me you understand the difference between 6 (SIX !) differen bin/sbin folders
• could continue forever...

I’ve been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

No, I am using TW for years and despise its package manager slowness. Apart from that though, TW is great. Have void on my laptop as well, sadly rarely use it currently.

codeberg: KISS

pros:

• very good defaults, btrfs with snapper integration like no other distro (i know of)
• up to date packages
• zypper is amazingly easy to use and understand (zypper dup, upgrades your whole system, one command done)
• if you need GUI tools to configure stuff, YAST

cons:

• worse documentation compared to Arch
• not the fastest packet manager
• a lot of unnecessary packages (not as lightweight)
• solutions for problems are not as widespread on the internet (a bit similar to first con)
• imo weird naming of official repos, also packman being almost required
• https://build.opensuse.org/ is kind of like AUR with automatic QC, but you have to add repos for each package which makes keeping track a hassle

Still if you want to hop around I think you HAVE to try Tumbleweed for an extended period of time, because you will come only to appreciate something like rolling release + seamless integration of snapper once you hit those road bumps. I also think arch is the way, be it in its vanilla form or something like endeavouros. But maybe you should gather some experience beforehand. Btw. I am using Tumbleweed on my personal (gaming) desktop for almost 10 years now. I am at a point where I want to switch, but at the same time feel so comfortable that I am not sure its worth the effort.

I installed it just yesterday on a test machine

Hmmm.

One downside of Opensuse compared to Arch is its lacking Documentation.

I use Opensuse TW on my desktop machine for over 10 years now and I use Debian at work, also have a different distro on my laptop.

Because you are just looking for an email provider: https://disroot.org/en (donation financed) Otherwise there are paid providers which are based in germany: mailbox.org or posteo.de

Is this sarcasm?
