Lukas(?) & Robert, et al -- ...and then Robert Schweikert said... % ... % % How do we satisfy the customer that wants 20 years of support while also % making the customer that is after something new every 3 years happy? [snip] First, thanks to all for a mostly-enlightening discussion. I'm looking forward to learning more. The only thing I'll throw in here is that, while perhaps I used to be one of the Cool New Kids who Knew His Stuff, these days after changing careers and not getting to spend as much time in front of the keyboard as I'd like I'm definitely one of those who wants things smooth, slow to change, and easy to maintain. While I couldn't have imagined it just five years ago, there are now times when I'll go an entire week away from my beloved main workstation. It stings, but somehow I get by, and I get to spend 6-9 hours a day teaching people how to fly, so overall I'm happy :-) BUT I have to have something simple and stable that I can "just use" without having to know as much as I used to. So far, SuSE has been that thing for me for about three decades now, and I don't really see that changing too terribly. But I'm watching and, yes, peeking warily ahead to the day when I might have to change flavors when the last version of LEAP is finally too buggy to allow to continue. [FWIW, I was on SuSE 12.x until about 2020, so even in the worst case I see that day as a long way off! ;-] Thanks again for all of the support, development, guidance, and effort in general. I'm looking forward to What's Next and hoping that I like it -- and not making any bets against that yet.
