I'm not here for help on this. There is nothing "senseless" about staying on 13.2 for the time being. If I need help with a _basic_ install of Leap on hardware that works on 13.2, I will stay with 13.2. The install was just an exercise to see where it is. Can I use this yet sort of thing. I'll try 42.3 when it arrives, but until then I'll be sticking with 13.2.

This post was started by a newcomer on cutting edge hardware looking for advice. The recommendation of installing EOL 13.2 using a vintage kernel is sensless.
1. Terry Eck, the OP, is not a newcomer. He's been around openSUSE for at least ten years, ok not a newcomer but judging from the posts not an eager hacker (no disrespect). 2. installing 13.2 does not mean sticking to a "vintage" kernel.
3. Even if you do, as long as your hardware is supported, so what? latest stuff, security, ease of installation, support, the ability to log bugs

And like you said 'if the hardware is supported' Im quite certain the OP would have far more problems to solve with 13.2 than 42.2. people digging there heels in over how thier own 'personal use case' contradits good 'general' advice, it is not an argument that can be won by either side. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
