JDD iPhone4 (I have jail broken it so I can ssh into it and installed apt/debian on it.. but I would love to just wipe IOS totally and install Android and or openSUSE so it can be fully linux. The reason I use an iPhone is because I wanted to prove to users that GTKPod would support it but guess what it doesn't. Does PlayOnLinux support Adobe Suite? I do push linuxalt project to give people alternative applications to try out. My other gripe is WIFI. Twice this week I have installed openSUSE on new laptop's and the wifi doesn't work one didn't work on 11.3, but did work on 11.4 (but you have to install kernel-firmware). How are you supposed to install kernel-firmware without wifi in the first place - not everybody has a cable connection, some people have such things as mobile broadband only and use MyFi devices) yes we say download it on another machine and rpm -i kernel-firmware.x.rpm but still with the retail version can't they put selected packman or non-oss rpm's on a non-oss dvd this would make it much more usable? Last week was a Broadcom BCM4313, this week its a Realtek RTL8191SE. Maybe as we reach the end of a distribution its new hardware that hasn't been tested, but in order to make the distribution sucssed we really need to get everything working out of the box. Including WIFI. Stuart On Monday 07 Mar 2011 18:04:14 jdd wrote:
Now that 11.4 is done and nearly out, we can think of the future.
in 2011, most of us do not use anymore Windows or nearly. Still when we advertise openSUSE we need to be cautious. switching completely to openSUSE is nearly impossible, because there are still some locks.
We should try to identify them and make the necessary effort to solve them.
The installation problem is the most well known and we already work each day to solve it and make default install a snap on nearly any computer. The use of installable live cd/dvd solves most of these problems and anyway we can't do better than what we already do on this respect.
So give testimonies here, and fill openfate entries to any lock you indentify
here are three of mine:
have a decent linear video editor: https://features.opensuse.org/311439
fully read slideshows: https://features.opensuse.org/311440
I would add: make USB hardware more linux friendly, but this is more a kernel problem. I anyway open a feature for that, but I don't know exactly how we can make it successfull https://features.opensuse.org/311441
