Do you understand the words "stable" and "newest , but stable"?
I don't think *you* understand what "stable" means in this context.
No, he doesn't.
I am going to end this thread - at least my involvement in it - right here and now.
I have a very strong suspicion that whoever is arguing for this Evergreen version and against what Tumbleweed is all about is doing so without the slightest idea of having actually installed and used Tumbleweed.
The whole argument so far has been about words and the meaning of words - but nothing based on actual experience.
People flapping their ears simply on the basis of what they believe, on how they interpret words.
I have Tumbleweed installed.
Does who are arguing against TW: do you have TW installed? Per - do you have TW installed?
I don't have Evergreen installed. I have no need to do so because I had openSUSE 11.4 installed *2* years ago.
And I certainly don't want to go back and use something which is 2 years old this month.
It makes no sense to go back after upgrading. Evergreen is about NOT upgrading at all.
Now, when it comes to Tumbleweed, which as I said, I do have installed and have tried it, let me say 2 things:
1. It is NOT in any way "bleeding edge" - my installation of 12.2 is more "bleeding edge" than Tumbleweed; and
Don't you understand that any upgrade, for example from 12.2 to 12.3 will bring you some small or bigger issues which you have to fix after doing the update? You even posted something about a 12.3 regression in the other thread. To avoid such issues you could simply NOT upgrade. "Bleeding edge" in this context means the latest openSUSE release. Specially since 12.1 we got so many huge changes that many people have really no motivations to risk upgrading good old 11.4. After end of life they have to switch to Evergreen if they still want to get important security and bug fixes. If you suggest them to use Tumbleweed instead of Evergreen then you haven't uderstood the whole thing because Tumbleweed will bring you any existing upgrade issue to your machine. That's exactly what those Evergreen people want to avoid. Tumbleweed is the exact opposite of Evergreen. The fact that it's more stable than Factory doesn't change the fact that it's much more unstable than sticking to any older particular release where you have already fixed all issues which you got after installing at the time some years ago. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
