WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED ???

Someone decided politics and publicity were more important than
developing the software, and the only people left to work on SUSE are
now performative RedHat elitists.

If you want a Distribution without commercial background, use Debian.

If you want a Distribution without commercial background, use
Debian.

The point being, that person complaining abut SUSE is another of these
armchair critics who loves how to complain about Free Software
projects not catering to their particular needs.

To paraphrase JFK: “Ask not what Free Software can do for you, ask
what you can do for Free Software”.

No, I don't love it AT ALL.

I just remember when it used to be Much Better and
now wonder What The Fuck Has Happened. I thought
'tools' and 'AI' were supposed to make code better,
right ?

Sorry, but I've become too old now to spend days
or weeks pumped on caf digging through endless
undocumented config files and trying to read
somebody's crappy 'C' to fix some little problems
that fuck up everything. Soon Linux will NOT be
a viable M$/Apple alt system anymore. The days
of being an 'experimental' system should be over.

Maybe somebody is helping along the shittification
of Linux ... ???

To paraphrase JFK: “Ask not what Free Software can do for you, ask

I've done my bit. Now I want some *return* on
my investment instead of just a bigger and
bigger shit heap.

Bound to be a 2010 ISO of OpenSUSE around ... maybe
that's the best tact eh ? :-)

Still some hope in the BSDs ... not as pretty, but
they do what they do quite well.

As for the 'C' these days, LOOK at it ... still
see unbounded unchecked I/O fields like from
the 1980s. I mean WHY would anyone put more than
ten bytes into a ten byte field ?

I replaced EndeavourOS on the Lenovo T480 with Leap 16. So far it has been trouble free without the Endeavour quirks. I'm using KDE both on SUSE and Fedora. SUSE has older versions of the kernel, Plasma, konsole and so
forth but nothing that affects me.

The only snag was VirtualBox. Once again, that was an experiment after
reading C123456's posts and I personally have no interest in running VB. virt-manager works fine.

Python on SUSE is 3.13 versus 3.14 on Fedora and Ubuntu 26.04 but that's
not a problem either. I haven't tried lately but there were some libraries that didn't support 3.14 so that initially was a bug rather than a
feature.
