However, for questions about user things, you can and should just use the plain opensuse@opensuse.org mail list, but saying that you are using TW. Questions like "I have a problem with LibreOffice".
Don't worry if some one appears to growl. We don't bite ;-) Even old timers are growled at sometimes :-p
We are from many countries, cultures, different senses of humour, different triggers... Just bear with us for a little while and you'll start to appreciate us ;-)
I left opensuse@opensuse.org because of the bickering. I was not getting much out of it. I want to be a member of openSUSE but not at the cost of having to bicker about one thing or another all the time. Or, the way someone words something. I really enjoy this distro. As I've told some folks, I used mac for 7 years before settling on openSUSE. I tried several .deb versions and even devuan. None set my feelings as this one. And I like the rolling releases. It matches Windows, Mac, Gentoo, and a couple others now. I dont care for Leap as that is a maintained periodic release like Fedora. So, the bickering just turns me off.
Believe me, despite some bickering now and then, the people at the opensuse@opensuse.org mail list are really helpful. I have got solved uncountable problems thanks to them. Yes, there is some noise, as it is not moderated. If it were it would be very silent and dull; it would be worse (has happened on other places, they die). If you want a moderated place, then the forums are the thing for you. Either via web, or via nntp. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
