Meanwhile, I didn't mean to insult. It just happens that even the
slightest form of criticism of Linux causes them to hyperventilate. Some
could have said that no noticeable changes happened because it was
already as good as it needed to be in 2014 or said that they've focused
on optimizing the system. Instead, the know-it-all advocates have
decided that insulting is the easier path. "The problem is between the
keyboard and the screen," amirite?

 With openSUSE today, versus 5 years ago when I last tried it, I don't
notice any difference. Using KDE. There's a Discover Software Center
now.
 That's from a USER's perspective, of course.
 I care fuck all what the internet, toasters, run on ;)
 I still like this Linux distro though, and strongly advocate that people
try it.... or not :)

   SUSE/OpenSUSE was always one of my faves - used
   it for desktops and servers. However a few years
   ago they dumbed it down - took away a bunch of
   old standard utilities. I often ran/parsed their
   output for info other pgms needed. They screwed
   that and thus a lot of stuff I'd worked hard on -
   and I didn't really forgive.
   DID get TumbleWeed/LXDE to run on a Pi-4 ... a
   little slow sometimes, but otherwise OK.
   Anyway, for most stuff these days, MX - have
   Manjaro on a couple of small utility boxes
   but may convert them to the latest MX soon.
