In any case, I've concluded that it will be smarter / better this time for me to ride out the rest of 2017 on my current (IMHO) 'production' grade, highly tailored 13.2 installation.
I was prepared to do the same, and then switch distros when 13.2 finally fell out of maintenance or a serious security flaw appeared. But a hard disk replacement (with an ssd) caused me to reconsider, and give 42.2 a try. (I had the old drive on the shelf as fallback). So I did a fresh install of Leap 42.2, and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. For the desktop environment, software development, Vmware, etc, I've found 42.2 quite stable, zero crashes, easy to manage. This dated laptop has never been better. I've trimmed (shut off) QT logging chatter, avoided BTRFS entirely. But other that, its a bog standard Opensuse install. I don't understand the criticism of 42.2 for the desktop role. Seems fine to me. And I'm known around here as THAT GUY who would be bitching if there were major problems. -- 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
