I would say the benefit of OpenSUSE is that everything is preconfigured to work right out of the box, including btrfs snapshotting with snapper. Once you boot it’s time to download apps, and go. Very windows like for those who just want the system to work. Updates are one click.

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

Authoritarianism (or vertical/hierarchical power structure) is THE defining characteristic of the right. “Auth-left” is Doublethink; an oxymoron meant to distract from the fact that wealth and power are one and the same.

This is so incredibly naive. Stalin? Mao? Evil authoritarianism comes in all flavors left and right. If you truly believe leftists aren’t capable of evil you need to study more history.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

I don’t want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who “didn’t share their inclusive views” That’s fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it’s not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don’t give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You’ll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it’s dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I’ve been using for a few months now on my laptop and it’s fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn’t matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don’t think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that’s like half of the active Lemmy users right now.

Installed Tumbleweed on my laptop last weekend after giving up on Arch. I realized I just don’t have the time Arch demands. OpenSUSE has been pretty nice so far, everything seems to just work, I can’t complain!
