openSUSE Tumbleweed - Not much has changed
🕑 Added 2020-04-02 13:41:08 +0000 UTCWhen I think of desktop Linux distros, I really only think of 3 "main" distributions:
* Ubuntu
* Arch
* Fedora
Where does openSUSE fit in this short list?
Nowhere.
I was hoping it would eventually fit right above Fedora but after reviewing it, that's gonna be a big ole Nope from me.
OpenSUSE has made almost no progress in the past 6 years. It's honestly quite stunning. How can a community distribution that is literally based on an enterprise Linux distribution make such little progress?
Sure, little things have changed like tweaks around YaST and various QoL updates, but the core of the distro and all of the problems it has haven't. The issues I encountered in the review are the exact same issues I had when I used it back in 2014.
I made a prediction in my Top 5 video this year about openSUSE. And after making this review, I really think openSUSE is going to sputter out and fade into obscurity.
The Linux community has moved on and users just aren't interested in anything openSUSE has to offer anymore.
Ubuntu is miles ahead of where it was in 2014. What is openSUSE's excuse?
