I do not want to sound like a bike shedder. But I believe he may not be interested in giving an interview about "Switching to openSUSE". For most of the kernel developers, the distro is just a convenient way to get some userspace applications which they don't want to build from source (say LibreOffice). In case of Linus, he is happy with Alpine, micro-emacs (built from source), git, xterm etc. So, the distro may not matter much for him. However, what we can do is, we can try to get some PR for Tumbleweed based on Linus' experience. We can try to understand from him what he feels about the rolling release of openSUSE and how he thinks it may be useful for Kernel development etc. My 2 cents.
apart from he´s not using alpine anymore, but the GMail-webinterface, I have to admit that I gree with your points. Maybe we should wait a time until he really uses openSUSE and then ask him, about his personal opinion about Tumbleweed or what we can improve. Maybe he will do that on his own, I remember some posts of him to the Fedora devel lists. After a night of sleep, I guess, I´ve thrown away my "Yeah-Linus-will-uses-openSUSE-most-important-thing-in-world-"thinking away and actually think of that a fast done interview will screw him away maybe. Let´s wait and see, what he thinks about openSUSE (i hope that he will use it, or at least give it a try and let us know, what he thinks. We should keep our eyes on our devel-lists and on our bugzilla.) --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner@opensuse.org
