Hi All,
I am running GNOME on Fedora right now as I have recently become a big fan of the GNOME desktop. I am curious at giving GNOME a go with openSUSE. What would you say are the best reasons to use GNOME with openSUSE? Also it looks like from what I read the openSUSE GNOME team plans to have a repo for 12.2 users to upgrade to 3.6, does the team try to do that for all GNOME releases that fall outside of the openSUSE release schedule?
Haven't replied to this earlier, sorry.
I would say the advantages of openSUSE compared to Fedora is that we have a system that is usually more stable (in the development version, at least -- I hear rawhide is pretty wild) and that we nearly always backport new versions of GNOME to the latest stable version of openSUSE, which is pretty cool.
If you only compare the GNOME integration: both Fedora and openSUSE are using a nearly-vanilla GNOME, so there's no big difference there.
That being said, Fedora is a nice distro too :-) (I love that they're pushing the latest technologies, for instance -- that is part of what explains some of the rawhide issues)
Cheers,
Vincent

Thank you for the reply. Back-porting major Gnome releases to the stable release when those release cycles don't match up is very exciting. Right now after bumping around different DE's I am finding Gnome to be the most exciting for me so getting the newest Gnome quickly is a key selling point. I don't use Rawhide, but I take it from your comment that Factory is more stable. Has newer Gnome releases in openSUSE typically been back-ported to stable quicker than being made available in Tumbleweed? As for vanilla Gnome I know in the past openSUSE would ship with the Slab menu and custom themes like sonar. Do you see the Gnome packagers for openSUSE sticking with vanilla/upstream or are there any plans to put a openSUSE-specific theme or customization on the desktop? -- Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
