Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

I switched from Fedora to openSUSE recently and it has been painless. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to get away from US companies and US jurisdiction. Edit: note that it uses RPM package manager though, I don't know yet if that is problematic or not. If someone knows then please elaborate on that.

Tumbleweed or Leap or something else?

[–] kylian0087@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Most likely Tumbleweed. As it is the most modern of them. Because it is rolling.

[–] bipedalsheep@programming.dev 5 points 5 hours ago

Correct, Tumbleweed is the one I started using.

As a long time debian user, I have my eyes on Leap. I value stability (in the unchanging functionality sense) over latest versions.
