I will be happy to receive such DVD-ISO, I could test it then at first chance. OK, I'll create one for you.
I'd estimate the time I need to do this is about 4 hours. My hourly rate is €200. Send me a check, I'll send you the ISO.
Deal?
Hello, Stefan. I want to conclude this endless kernel theme with this message, as it appears to not lead into what I hoped.
From point of a new (potential) user, I am almost sure that this will happen again and again:
A new user will buy a new laptop or PC somewhere. For sure, he will not buy an old one, he wants to buy a new one, because of warranty, etc., so it is more likely that this new computer will also have a Win10 optimised BIOS. Then he/she possibly decides to try some kind of LINUX, because he/she heard of how well it works. Possibly he/she will try openSUSE first. Download, make a DVD or USB stick, try to install ... - BAM. Doesn't work. (It is a new user with no experience, so don't expect some knowledge to solve this problem.) So what is the result? Let's try another (other) Linux. So after a short googleing, he/she will find for sure something like Mint, MX, or similar. Again, he/she burns a DVD or makes a USB-Stick, and tries... WHOW, this one works! SO GUESS what will never ever happen again. He/she will stay at his working distro, and opensuse lost a potential new user - almost sure forever. This is what delaying an ISO with newer kernel causes. I thought I could motivate openSUSE to build a new ISO with new kernel (read my initial posts). I was offering to test this unofficial iso and give feedback, too. This is a valuable job and for sure helpful to the community, but it seems this is not really wanted. I will unsubscribe from here in short time if this is waste of time, as it seems to be of no real interest to get such fundamental problems (as sticking with old kernels) solved as quick as possible. I thankfully got the link to tools to self-build an image with new kernel. I will try it and hope it will work. If it works, I will use it. If it doesn't work, I will prepare an MX 18 stick and simply use that one wherever a problem with the official iso arises. Have a nice day. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
