Results of openSUSE ARM Usecases survey
Ahoy openSUSE! I'd like to give big thanks to all of you who have participated in the survey, the data is pure gold. I'd also like to give thanks to openSUSE Release team who helped to make this survey happen and those of you who went with me through all of the feedback. Cumulated notes from review during past two days can be found here https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20201202-arm . I have processed the exported survey results and turned it into the following wiki page: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.3/Surveys/ARM_Usecases Data showed us that there is a big ARM userbase that essentially doubled over past 12 months. There seems to be still a lot of ARMv7 devices around, and people on these devices care about Leap. Based on this feedback openSUSE Release team is now looking into ways how to bootstrap openSUSE Leap 15.3 for ARMv7. We don't want to let our users down. We will also look into what we can do about the Rasp Pi 4 issues (sound etc.). We will also see what can be done the multilib libraries. There was a also suggestion to support some newer devices or to provide images with different partition setup (no swap or avoiding separate /boot). Next step is that we will process the notes in a closer loop and will make sure to open features, bugs, poo tickets, contact right people to make sure we can be seen as one of the fine tuned distributions for all of these devices. The optional email contacts we've received as part of the survey will be kept within the openSUSE release team. I hope you we will find a great use for the data. Thank you once again. -- Lubos Kocman, Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg - Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer
