Yeah, don't know why the Pytnon stuff is in the Frameworks section. I just copy & pasted news.opensuse.org.

Absolutely yes. The Community is very friendly and helpful (even compared to the big ones like Arch or Debian).
And thanks to the QA the have the best RR in my opinion.

Did the upgrade a few minutes ago. No problems so far and everything feels very smooth when it comes to animation, desktop effects etc.

Hi Carlo, please don't just write that a new video has been released, but perhaps also a small description (also in the title) of what kind of video it is. That makes it a lot easier to know what to expect 😉.

If you want to use the latest release, you can use the repos as described here:

Unless someone steps in as a maintainer and will continue to work on it.

No. Tumbleweed is a pure rolling release containing the latest "stable" versions of all software and is updated once Factory's bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested by openQA. So the stability comes before bleeding edge.

Quick and Dirty podman container ( kbin.social )

For those of you that haven't played with, or find the online documentation for containerizing your workloads to be a bit intimidating, I wrote a blog post/How To on putting together a container, and setting up the systemd services to manage it. Hope it's helpful to folks....

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
I really need to play around with podman container more. However, so far I haven't had a real use case where I thought "Hey, a container would be the solution!" 🙂.

Thanks for sharing. This was a very interesting talk about Kalpa.

This is awesome! I really love it 😀.

There are lot's of reasons not to do so, but the most important one is probably that Slimbook uses barebones from Tongfang. You can configure the barebones to some extend but mostly only screen resolution, cpu, gpu and cooling. The smaller things like USB ports are not as configurable as you might thing.

I am using Tuxedo laptops since a few years now and it was always a pleasure to use them. Slimbook and Tuxedo are using barebones from Tongfang and sometimes Clevo in different configuration. I guess the build quality is almost the same for both of them.

I'm curious to see how the new installer feels and whether it's really better than the old one.

The installer looks very modern indeed. But as I said, I hope that it will ultimately offer the same configuration options as Yast.
But you're right, it's definitely time for something new that is actively developed and proper maintained.

I am a boring person and use what my DE gives me by default. Konsole is very good and I also use Yakuake a lot but I will also take a closer look at Kitty.

Can we get a way to set up dnf5 on it? Thank you.

Just install dnf5 from the repositories and you're good to go.

Yup, it's as simple as that 🙂.
That's the beauty of Linux. If something doesn't suit you, you have so many alternatives that you can try out.
