Hi Folks,
My 13-year old HP desktop is still working fine, but it's obviously time to retire it before it permanently dies. Also, my wife recently found a bit of luck at the casino and this is the perfect time to upgrade. So I have a couple of questions about hardware compatibility with openSUSE.
It looks like the AMD Ryzen cpu's have a bit of an edge over Intel, but has anyone seen compatibility issues?
And what about high-res monitors? I'm looking at a UHD (3840 x 2160) monitor, any issues with Leap 15.1?
Depending on your choice of Desktop and toolkit scaling can be a bit hit and miss, If you want to run a UHD monitor with a second older 1920x1080 monitor or projector you will also likely have a bunch of issues unless you scale them the same, however in some places its getting better, if your just using gnome and gtk apps it is likely running pretty well now. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
