@ ALL TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTORS/DEVELOPERS (sorry for shouting) - If we collectively manage to "calm" factory down to the point where it will always boot and you do not have to fiddle with the very low level, kernel, bootloader, glibc , X11, things after doing "zypper dup" would you be
- inclined - very likely - unlikely - very unlikely
to switch to factory on your every day working machine?
I would be inclined to search something not "calmed down", as i'm very happy with factory on my main machine as it is today. Where will all the fun be if it always just works? :-)
Those that run factory already should probably not answer this question ;)
Oh, come on. We should really still provide something that resembles todays factory for the brave! Actually for me, running factory (today) is less painful than upgrading twice a year: I have small breakages every now and then, but seldom really big stuff. And I have to fix one thing per week. After updating my server from 12.3 to 13.1, I have to fix up lots of small things, all at once, to get it working as intended again. And I won't even talk about updating my kids' machines (they use GNOME -- nothing anyone ever would even consider when running Factory :-)), that is always a hell of a task to get running again. I'll probably also might switch them to Factory / XFCE.
