I've been on 15.6 since Alpha and loving it. Especially with the current issues in Tumbleweed and KDE 6. I'll be switching another laptop to Leap 16 when that comes out.
I was running Tumbleweed for around two years and it was great but I didn't need so many updates after all.. And now I'm under Debian 12 (via SpiralLinux KDE) which is also great but not that polished as opposed to OpenSUSE.. So this is tempting.. I may switch back to Leap in the end =)
The correct way to change the default zone is by actually clicking on "Zones" and then it lists all the zones and which one is the actual default. It shows a check mark . You select the zone you want to make the default one and click on the "Set As Default" button. This also results in it adding your network interface to the screen where you had just the docker one. I do hope that at some point, Yast will be a thing of the past as it's really gotten long in the tooth and some of the things in there were not very intuitive. At least to me. On more gotcha for those of you who have scanners with non-opensource drivers. Opensuse by default deactivates all the drivers /etc/sane.d/dll.conf . They use a script to then detect if the newly inserted USB device has a driver available and activates it. In theory, well their theory this helps mitigate security issues. In practice, it deviates from the sane project's default settings and wastes one's time :/
Excellent information and I thank you much for sharing. I'll give all that a look and adjust my recommends accordingly. I agree completely that yast needs a complete rework or removed.
Hello tahnks for this video. In fact, there is no skype for Suse or Linux, I mean, an ".rpm" package or ".deb" package, just snap package. On skype site you can use the browser or use a snap. I agree with you that every distro have issues: on Debian I can't make my HP Advantage wokrs, or, it works when it wants....but I can install TeXmacs to write my texts....in Opensuse my HP Advantage works out of the box, but to install TeXmacs is very complicated and some times installs a lot of repositories that I don't choose and that don't work...but I prefer Suse over Debian...Suse is much more agnostic or silent about politics. Best wishes from Brazil (soputh)...
Alongside Debian, OpenSuse is one of the oldest and mature distributions. If you look for a stable distribution and you want to focus on what you need to do, not on the operating system, then Leap is a good choice. Is also a good choice because is flexible, if you don't want a bloated system you can do a server install, choose the base pattern you want for your DE and finally you install only what you'll use.
@folksurvival they're both designed for the utmost stability and both have older packages of everything. There's a slight difference on the two about which packages are older but not by much. To me it comes down to the feel and completeness of the distro, and to me leap has the edge over Debian. Ymmv, especially with the next leap afaik being based on ALP.
So do we get the Latest Stable Version of Firefox browser on Open Suse Leap like in Windows PC ? What version of Firefox Available in Open Suse15.6 Now ? Can we use Hyprland Window Manager in Open Suse 15.6 ?
It's very tempting, they still having issues, need it to be a bit more settled before I start passing it around. I actually want slowroll on moms puter but I don't think it's ready yet
It is a point release openSUSE distro somewhat based on SUsE Enterprise Linux. They also have Tumbleweed rolling release and Micro for immutable release. Last but not least they also have slowroll, which is based of tumbleweed. It's also a rolling but slower, less daily packages and roughly every three months a bigger update to catch back up.
@@LowTechLinux Thank you. I had an issue with the install yesterday and wanted to get back you. Second time around it ran through it (cough cough, walked?) without issue. I want to thank you for your videons on OpenSuse. I looked at some others, who spoke way too fast and who just assumed we were at a certain point. You don't do that. I REALLY appreciate you and the way you present. I'm not a novice concerning linux, as I said yesterday, been using it since RedHat 1998/9? Also an x-cissp (got tired of paying the dues), but we can always learn new things. Bottom line. I THINK THIS IS THE BEST DISTRO I'VE USED IN MANY YEARS. Now I've only been in it for a couple days, but I really like the way it does things. I did have a monitor issue with the task bar and sign in being on my outboard monitor, which I "kind of" fixed, but other than that, it's fantastic. Finding printers after taking down firewall was no issue. ONCE AGAIN, you are the man. Thank you sir.

Understandable. I really hope KDE 6.1 cleans up some of the mess.
Happy to see you happy @LowTechLinux!
Thank you 👍
And thanks to the opensuse team for a job well done
I'm liking that 15.6 wallpaper on your screen.
Good review as always. I hope your brother enjoys OSLeap and incline more towards Linux as primary operating system.
He hates windows but needs AutoCAD and the free open source cads just done cut it
Such a recognizable wallpaper on the screen behind you ;-) Many thanks for doing the review!
Thank you ❤️

Keep us updated if you do.
There's also slowroll based on tumbleweed which attempts to slow the updates down a little bit
I've used Debian before but never Leap so I'm tempted to try Leap full-time. I'm currently on Void for the last two and a half years.

How do you think they compare? (Debian and Leap)
@folksurvival they're both designed for the utmost stability and both have older packages of everything. There's a slight difference on the two about which packages are older but not by much. To me it comes down to the feel and completeness of the distro, and to me leap has the edge over Debian. Ymmv, especially with the next leap afaik being based on ALP.
This is probably too late after the fact, but there is a flatpak for Teams that uses the web api. Seems to work fine.
That's excellent information. Thank you
👍!
I *almost* thought you were trolling and saying "thumbs up......syke!". Then I realized that the shebang BEFORE something means "not" :D

Please tell me how it goes
@@LowTechLinux upgraded to 15.6.
after wake up, unlocking starts with dark screen 1-2 seconds.
:/
Ugh. That's not good.
Curious though, nvidia graphics or no? Wayland or x?
@@LowTechLinux x and not nvidia.
Your brother deserves Slowroll. Change Leap to Slowroll and have fun
It's very tempting, they still having issues, need it to be a bit more settled before I start passing it around. I actually want slowroll on moms puter but I don't think it's ready yet
@@LowTechLinux It is.. In fact it is Tumbleweed except for the updates repo. It is exactly Tumbleweed
What is Leap?
