I was told to download an Epson file for OpenSUSE 15.1 and it would work fine for Tumbleweed, and that's the file I downnloaded and tried to install.
I DO appreciate the efforts of all who try and straighten me out. I've been with Linux for about 15 years, but I'm not familiar with the present version of OpenSUSE, and I don't know it's capabilities, and how to use some of them. Perhaps leap15.1 is the OTHER OpenSUSE version? I have decided to use an LTS revolving version--Tumbleweed-- because I do not wish to have to reinstall every so often. This version of Tumbleweed is up-to-date as of a couple of days ago.
Wow! Tumbleweed is NOT and LTS, but the reverse! It is a rolling release, using the newest packages from the development trees, just after they consider stable, so it is where most bugs are found. TW is where new "things" are developed and tested!
If you want an LTS, please format and install Leap 15.1 instead.
I suppose I misused the term--I DO want the rolling release, so hopefully I never have to take down the system and reinstall for an up-to-date version. That's why I chose Tumbleweed. I think the Leap version is only good for a couple of years at a time. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
