Testing to install #openSUSE #Leap16 #RC. First impressions:

The new installer has no #Finnish localization, and as far as I can see, the installer is not included in #Weblate #L10N so that I could translate it myself.

The storage setup is a disaster. Unless one blindly accepts whatever is suggested, things turn either difficult or downright impossible. Eg. setting up a dedicated /usr/local or a custom mountpoint like my /local is a no-go. #linux #floss 1/2

「 Over these two decades, it’s earned a reputation for being rock-solid, reliable, and secure, winning the trust of everyone from home users tinkering with their first desktop to enterprises running mission-critical systems. Alongside Debian, it shines as one of the brightest stars — not just among general-purpose distros, but in the entire Linux ecosystem 」

@thekitmalone Thanks to the power of Linux (#opensuse and #openwrt), I get a lot of extended life out of hardware that would have otherwise long since EoLed, including wireless APs that are still going great after 15 years, and a desktop PC recently retired after 18 years of trusty service. LineaageOS also worth a look for old phones/tablets.

openSUSE 16.0 reached the release candidate stage!

The release candidate for the upcoming openSUSE Linux distribution has just begun, and it features changes that were made from the beta version to incorporate bug fixes and general improvements to different parts of the system. openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise 16.0 will make their way to the final version later this year.

At the same time, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap 16.0 are currently in the process of having their sources transitioned from OBS SCM to the more powerful Git version controlling system. We expect that the final release of openSUSE 16.0 be at the end of September so that more stability is guaranteed.

openSUSE Leap 16.0 is also one of the first Linux distributions that delivers the XFCE desktop running on the newer Wayland protocol instead of the antiquated X11 desktop. However, it’s in a state where it’s not yet production-ready. Among many other changes, such as the new Agama installer that enhances the operating system installation experience and to improve stability.
