Dear reader,
When I initially tried Leap, the stability was a disaster. So, I went back to Tumbleweed. Which at the time was stable enough. However, from time to time I still have to go back to 13.2 because Tumbleweed is not always so stable.
Leap is now around for some time, so I wonder if it is stable enough nowadays to be used instead of 13.2. The later is kind off showing his age. Hi Frans
for everyday office work, I would go with 13.2. As for showing its age, you should see my 10.3 workstation (veryyyyy stable though). I have a test desktop with Leap, but it's not reliable.
I know now that using Tumbleweed is participating in a lottery, but has OpenSUSE nothing newer to offer which is just as stable as 13.2 is? Not to my knowledge. Right now, 13.2 is my preferred version.
Thanks Per,
Just as I expected the reply would be. And yes, I had 10.3 before 13.2, but some libraries needed to be updated, which in turn called for many dependencies aka, much manual labor. Yeah - so far, 10.3 does everything I need it to, and I'm too lazy to upgrade it.
Tumbleweed was a nice idea, but they use (fresh) factory packages for it to fill it, which - in my opinion - is a sure recipe for trouble. Yes, TW is a playground, something always breaks. Which is fine, TW users know about and (presumably) don't have to rely on it.
I agree, TW is not stable. It's fun to play with, and that's about it. Each time something gets fixed in Plasma 5 on TW, something else breaks like bad X leaks and plasmashell leaks that gob up 5 GB of memory. I was one of those people chasing the tire at 30 MPH then kicking it over and watching it wobble and seize. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
