I love openSUSE
I’m a convert from Ubuntu, after several years with that distribution of Linux, and the difference between Ubuntu 8.10 and OpenSuse 11.1 is night and day.
In fact, I can’t believe I’m writing about it, but I’ve been suppressing the urge for a while now, and I realize that I won’t be able to move on until I get this off my chest.
Ubuntu started off as a somewhat usable operating system for me, allowing me access to most of my hardware and files. There were always little bugs that… bugged me — graphics glitches or files turning up corrupt after a couple days of non-use. Stuff that I lived with, but resented.
The forums were flooded with so many people whining about what didn’t work for them, or about how this wasn’t like Windows, so I steered clear of that venue. Outwardly, I tried to go along with the friendly-but-not-so-useful community-based support, but my patience wore thin with it over the years.
In complete frustration, I downloaded OpenSuse 11.1 and did a clean install with no reservations.
