The problem is that with the change of approach to Tumbleweed and Factory, current Tumbleweed attracted substantial part of those openSUSE users who focus on new versions and new features. As a result of these changes, 13.2 lost big part of its "added value" and became less attractive. The way I understand Richard's arguments, he believes one way to regain some of the sense to the releases is to move them more away from the Tumbleweed so that they could target a different group of users, in particular group openSUSE failed to target for long time. And I agree with him. As an end user, running openSUSE Tumbleweed on my work laptop and 'fool around' machines and running 13.1 in >10 VMs all over the place I agree.
I would suggest the following approach for the future:
- ---------- Citation ----------- Tumbleweed is for people with new laptops. Drivers have been mentioned .
Releases are for long running machines, servers, etc. - ---------- Citation -----------
If I can run my servers on openSUSE for more than the lifetime releases had up til now, I would get rid of having to upgrade 'frequently'. And VMs and servers rarely need the latest software (drivers might be an issue with new servers and new hardware).
100% agreement!
You forget the middle ground. Plain desktop/laptop users, wanting reasonably recent software, just not wanting to work the installation or upgrade every some months. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
