SFaulken, hace 9 meses a linux en OpenSUSE seeks a Leap replacement, but will distro community rise to the challenge?

Correct, SUSE, the corporation is no longer providing a traditional linux distribution, after the SLE-15 EOL.

openSUSE, which is a community project, and not controlled by SUSE, is currently debating as to whether we have the contributors interested in doing so, and in sufficient numbers, to continue to provide a traditional point release distribution.

Tumbleweed (the rolling release) is not going anywhere. The community has not yet decided if the interest and manpower is there to use the ALP sources provided by SUSE to create A) A traditional linux distribution, akin to what Leap currently is, B) a "Slowroll" version of Tumbleweed, that has a slower release cycle, or C) Nothing at all, because there isn't the community there to support the development of it.

SUSE != openSUSE

SFaulken, hace 9 meses a linux en OpenSUSE seeks a Leap replacement, but will distro community rise to the challenge?

That is indeed the big question, if there's nobody willing to put in the work, then there's nothing to release.

Maintaining something like Leap, with the contributor base that has historically existed, isn't sustainable, long term, especially when the upstream is going in a different direction.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en [Question] Why does everyone seem to dislike containerized packages?

Mostly because they're uneducated fools, that haven't any actual idea what the hell they're talking about.

Unless you're pulling sources, and building everything yourself, everything you get from most major distributions is "pre-compiled".

People hate anything new, they fear change, and they like drama, that's all it is.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en What is the most opinionated linux distro?

Fedora Silverblue or openSUSE Aeon, I'd probably say.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en Stupid Beginner Question: What Linux Desktop Environment works well or has an output mode for NTSC/PAL resolution?

The dsektop environment really doesn't have anything to do with it. That's up to the video drivers and display server, be it X11 or Wayland. I haven't any idea which desktop might offer you the best tools for configuring those things though. Just as a rough guess, I'd guess KDE Plasma, perhaps XFCE?

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en A distro and desktop environment recommendation for an old laptop (Read all of it, please.)

I'd probably drop openSUSE Tumbleweed with LXQt on it. But that's my preference for low-spec machines. There's any number of distros with "lightweight" GUI's that you can use. XFCE/MATE/LXQt probably being the ones that will give you the least headaches.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama?

I have no idea who signs his paychecks, but no, none of the announcement about the RHEL Sources affects Fedora in any way, unless Nobara is pulling sources from RHEL (which it isn't) this doesn't affect it at all. Nobara isn't an official Fedora, or RedHat product or project.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama?

No, nothing RedHat is doing affects Nobara. Nobara is based on Fedora, which is upstream of RedHat. Nothing is changing.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a opensource en Oracle: Keep Linux Open and Free—We Can’t Afford Not To

This is nice for Oracle to say. That being said, Oracle are not "The Good Guys™" and never have been. They might be legitimately honest about Oracle Linux and their commitment to being open and free, but they're horrible about so many other things, and always have been.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en This again: What distro are you using for gaming?

Honestly, I wouldn't make any specific recommendation. Because when you do, you instantly become most peoples personal support technician, when they can't sort something out.

I'd probably make the general suggestions of Fedora/Silverblue/Kinoite, openSUSE Tumbleweed/Aeon/Kalpa, and maybe Pop!_OS if somebody put a gun to my head. But no recommendations.

SFaulken, hace 11 meses a linux en Open source developers - have the recent moves by RedHat changed your opinion of using non-GPL licenses?

No, this changes nothing for me.

SFaulken, hace 1 año a linux en Can someone ELI5 the situation with Red Hat and CentOS?

Uh. The relationship between CentOS Stream and RHEL is a bit murkier to me. I'd be lying to you if I said I fully understood how that code flow works.

For openSUSE the flow is "openSUSE Tumbleweed" -> "SUSE Linux Enterprise" -> "openSUSE Leap"

Everytime SUSE creates a new version/service pack of SLE (SLE 15 SP4, to use an example) the sources for that version are provided to openSUSE, and a new version of Leap is released (openSUSE Leap 15.4)

I don't actually work on Leap much, nor am I a SUSE Employee, so there are probably some minutae in that process that I'm missing, but that's the basic workflow.

SFaulken, hace 1 año a linux en CentOS Stream for HPC work?

I mean, if you know the software you need to have, to make it work on RHEL, It might take a bit of work on your part, but I can't imagine getting it installed on CentOS Stream will be that onerous a task.

SFaulken, hace 1 año a linux en Reminder that RedHat makes A LOT of money already. The results of the 2019 fiscal year show that RedHat spends twice as much money on ads and sales people than on developers.

They aren't. None of this affects their submissions back upstream to things like the Linux kernel, GNOME, Systemd, or any other software they include within RHEL/CentOS Stream
