Same here; I usually wait, but there are numerous things in 12.1 I really wanted - so I jumped right in. Upgrading on my laptop went completely sideways. This was due I think to my nVidia video are and that I was using the GNOME 3.0 repos for 11.4 previously. But once I did a re-install [not that painful since my /home is a separate volume] everything has worked extremely well: wireless, multiple displays, etc... And I'm no longer using the proprietary nVidia drivers, everything seems to be working with the Open nouveau driver - which is *SWEET*.
What I've noted is a tendency to short, less informative answers, a tendency to react defensively, deny or debate reports of difficulties and just a general level of snarkiness.
I perceive this as well, but not just here. I've been a UNIX sys-admin for ~20 years and a LINUX user since kernel 0.99a. In general assitance in most forums has declined and snarkiness is up. But this is one of the better forums - if you want to see real unfriendliness try out the Postfix list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
