After the Richard talk at OSC, the status of openSUSE stays unclear, that's normal it have to be discussed, but I see it like this:
* Tumbleweed, the rolling release will the distribution for advanced users * openSUSE? * I new variant (name?) will be more stable, very long time support (at least 3 years), yearly release?
In fact it may not be usefull to have three kind of distros, if Tumbleweed is stable enough *and* can cope with proprietary video drivers and Virtualbox drivers (is that kmp?), because it's the only reason one needs really the present openSUSE version
just my understanding

Hi, having read amount of mail on the topic, I would like to say the following:
I like idea to have Rolling-Release + Shared-with-SLE-core on x86. But, basically it won't work on armv7 boards. I have been trying to run openSUSE on BeagleBone Black for one year or so and found that tuning/fixing the kernel is the largest part of work.
I found it to be so big part, that I prefer to use custom kernel then the distribution one. And it should be no big deal to keep different kernel for ARM - there are different images anyway.
The rootfs and packages work, just kernel needs to be special in some cases. But as more and more is getting upstream and mainstream I think that over the time it will be easier and easier to integrate everything needed in Tumbleweed. For regular release, I would say using a different kernel for ARM might be an option.
Downstream kernels also have drawbacks like possible incompatibility in user-space, broken API, insecurity, etc. So, for me TI AM33xx platform is okay in upstream kernel, most of problems were not related to hardware or lack of support but to bad coding style in kernel itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
