From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Aw yisss, someone else using SUSE

I tried a lot of different distros, but SUSE's YaST tools are the shit. No distro has anything quite like them.

They feel super dated and I remember them being exactly the dame many years ago, but I get people liking to have the functionality in gui, it’s pretty sweet.

Only complaint that I had about OpenSuse was that horribly slow package manager, other than that, It’s a solid choice

I use openSUSE and rarely find myself using YaST. I feel like it's just a hassle navigating through all those dated menus. Zypper is not AS bad as people say and if you know what you're doing you can always use another rpm package manager like dnf. But that is a valid complaint lol.

Overall openSUSE is a fantastic distro though.
