Dear reader,
When I initially tried Leap, the stability was a disaster. So, I went back to Tumbleweed. Which at the time was stable enough. However, from time to time I still have to go back to 13.2 because Tumbleweed is not always so stable.
Leap is now around for some time, so I wonder if it is stable enough nowadays to be used instead of 13.2. The later is kind off showing his age.
Hi Frans
for everyday office work, I would go with 13.2. As for showing its age, you should see my 10.3 workstation (veryyyyy stable though). I have a test desktop with Leap, but it's not reliable.
I know now that using Tumbleweed is participating in a lottery, but has OpenSUSE nothing newer to offer which is just as stable as 13.2 is?
Not to my knowledge. Right now, 13.2 is my preferred version.
Thanks Per, Just as I expected the reply would be. And yes, I had 10.3 before 13.2, but some libraries needed to be updated, which in turn called for many dependencies aka, much manual labor. I still wonder why Leap was ever conceived. Wishful thinking? Maybe quality is of no concern with OpenSUSE anymore? Tumbleweed was a nice idea, but they use (fresh) factory packages for it to fill it, which - in my opinion - is a sure recipe for trouble.
