The truth is that Leap42x does not bring any must-have world-shattering bits of new functionality.
On that we agree. Everything about Leap was a retrograde movement from 13.2, which was one of the finest versions Opensuse ever produced.
Couldn't agree more. We've been moving everything to 13.2 for quite some time, xen hosts, physical hosts, desktops, laptops. I'm advocating moving servers to leap422, on that level it's rock-solid.
For my needs, 42.2 is finally at an equivalent level. A few things from KDE4 are missing from Plasma5/KDE5, but that's not Opensuse's fault.
It's not so much about whose fault it is, it's about whether the end result works or not. The apparent deprecation of knode is not openSUSE's fault either, but it has to be dealt with. We'll probably switch to pan instead.
I've been known to run releases long after they have dropped off maintenance, until vulnerabilities start to scare me. (I'm not easily stampeded).
We still have production systems on 11.x, my own workstation is still 10.3. Rock-solid, although firefox is beginning to show it's age. I'm very attached to 10.3 :-) Keeping up with the openSUSE rate of change is not easy when you depend on everything working 24x7. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-4.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
