openSUSE Leap 15.2 - New Nothing
🕑 Added 2020-07-05 23:51:04 +0000 UTCI've got to be honest - for the amount they hyped up openSUSE Leap 15.2, hardly anything is different.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for a community enterprise Linux distro. But still, there's nothing sexy about this release at all.
They even shipped it with some pretty nasty bugs. The Flatpak bug in particular is unacceptable. I read a post that said the build system doesn't currently have a test for Flatpak. So, did anybody try to install a Flatpak manually then? Like, how did this slip past QA?
On the production side, the voice-over was really difficult for me to record. I waited until the last minute to record it so I can only blame myself but there were about 20 minutes of voice-over for an 8-minute episode.
Let me know what you guys think of the cheeky humor in this episode!

Great job! Right before they did the weird version number jump to current numbering, I tried it all. First, Tumbleweed, way too buggy and missing the enterprise tools that all Linux come with. I mean, who does NOT include NUT? Literally no one else. So I went and tried Leap. Nope, yes NUT and such are there but hardware support is woeful even for enterprise hardware. And it crashed.... a ton. Soooo, instead of giving up like a wise person, I bought SUSE workstation with expensive support. That was a HUGE waist of time and money and the support SUCKS and solves nothing. Red Hat, on the other hand, is super expensive but man do they do it right, from software to hardware to support in general. Kind of reminds me of ThinkPad support. TLDR: SUSE/Opensuse SUCK and never will I fall for that. To be fair, they have the Vendor list that you need to work great, but Red Hat climbed Everest to get it working on anything. Anyone fully deployed SUSE enterprise grade deployment? Why over Ubuntu or especially RedHat?
