Naturally *no* new user will *ever* figure out any of this without expert help - and neither will most existing openSUSE users.
I think the vast majority of openSUSE users add one or more Packman/OBS repos and want to be able to upgrade packages in the distro without having to fight the package manager to do it.
Personally I think this is a total disaster for openSUSE, and a nightmare for anyone who tries to promote openSUSE and help newbies.
Is it just me?
It's not just you... I agree 100%. OpenSUSE has too many of these little expert things (with more being added) that makes using it as an Enterprise level distribution better, but as a end user desktop, much much more difficult. Yes you can go into (what is to an end user) obscure configuration files and tweak things, but.. no end user will do that. Heck, I don't consider myself a new user, and I don't go tweak all these settings to make things easier on the Desktop (server side, it works fine) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
