We[¹]'re working on a news article on Factory becoming a true rolling distribution[²] instead of being the development branch.
As you will be very well aware, it's been a while since 13.1 (acording to the original 8 month cycle we would release in 3 weeks - and I'm actually quite happy we're not putting a release out a day after the Final ;-)
But I still would like to listen reasons why people should not be sad 13.2 is not released, but rather take a second look at switching to Factory.
And for this I need your help: why did you switch to Factory or why do you consider it? What are the selling points of Factory? What killer features are in Factory that we don't have in 13.1?
I'm interested as well. For my desktop machines I would appreciate to have a rolling release but it should still be usable for serious work. I'm concerned that it's not just because of external dependencies. I do not use much software from outside of the openSUSE ecosystem but I heavily rely on those few. And with Factory I would be scared to break them like every 2-4 weeks. I tried to start using Factory a bit within VirtualBox to prepare switching to it eventually. But every other day the VirtualBox X driver is broken and 640x480 is not a usable resolution for work for example. While I believe that Factory is more or less usable already I still see a few weak points why I wouldn't trust it for my daily use. Sorry for only explaining why I do _not_ consider switching to Factory just yet :-( Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
