I know that we're supposed to upgrade regularly to stay "fresh" and "recent," but when you're trying to actually use your laptop for stuff, it's an incredible pain to have to stop, upgrade, then fix what broke (and hope that you can fix it...) I just don't have time for that -- my computers are supposed to work for me, not the other way around. I want to upgrade my laptop when I'm ready, not when someone tells me that I have to.
Well said. On on of my desktop systems, I've switched to Manjaro, a rolling Archlinux release, with KDE/Plasma5 and I couldn't be happier. Amazing. On my laptop, I did a fresh install of Leap 42.2. Had I not been upgrading the laptop to an SSD anyway, I would not have upgraded from 13.2 to 42.2. But since a fresh install was in the card I decided to give 42.2 a try. It is sufficiently old computer, and my needs or it are sufficiently mundane that I ran into no major problems, and 42.2 is running fine. Had the fresh install not gone fine, it would now be running Manjaro. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
