Final zypper dup done for 15.4 - Working Fantastic - It's a keeper.
All, Final zypper dup done, laptop, with proprietary nvidia drivers, working wonderfully. Hats off to the openSUSE devs. Fluxbox and KDE3 tweaked and configured to perfection. Wonderful dark themes for both, all 10,000 (guess) apps that are normally installed, plus gcc11 working fine. Fresh install to ext4, and I really have no complaints to report (we did have to pull the 15.3 desktop-data-openSUSE-15.0.20171024-lp153.1.53.noarch.rpm To restore menu categories that were stripped out by Gnome (okay, that's a complaint, but there is also a workaround, so nice tidy xdg menu categorization restored) Tbird CPU usage is also a complaint -- but openSUSE has nothing to due with that one, bug filed with Mozilla and confirmed it is fixed in Tbird 102 (so that's a wash too) That's small potatoes "complaints". Desktops in best shape I've ever seen (that's saying a lot considering I've use KDE since long before 3.5.10), Libreoffice, imagemagick, gimp, inkscape (it has made the gtk transition - finally), pdftk, pngquant, etc... all the "tools of creation" working fine. Mariadb and Postgresql up running no issue. Samba makes my $HOME files available on my phone, all is good. Here is to 15.4 going down in the records with 15.0, 42.3, 11.4, 11.0, 10.3, 9.0Pro, 8.0Pro, 7.0Pro (boxed sets) as being releases that are remembered fondly. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Seems awfully soon to categorize in that class. Mine's a bit different. I didn't start until 8.0, and I have a thin recollection of 9.x: 8.2, 10.2, 11.0, 11.2, 11.4, 13.1, 42.1. 42.2 is when KDE3 system sounds began croaking at random after some login uptime: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047852 -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

6.3 was my first version. I got involved when SuSE Linux was the first distro that could be installed on IBM mainframes. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.11 tde-config: 1.0

I missed going with 6, because I was with Mandrake at the time -- before they showed the Linux world how to implode trying to corpratize a distribution. The total sh*t show debacle that resulted in Mandival (Mandriva) is what pushed me to SuSE and I never looked back. KDE 4.0.4a pushed me to add Arch to my distros -- same thing, never looked back. All servers are Arch. All Desktops are openSUSE (and Ubuntu - WSL and Debian on the Pi) I do have a disk I keep an Arch desktop on just to keep a handle on latest upstream KDE/Plasma (coming along, but very slow to start), wouldn't touch Gnome4 with a 10 foot pole. Even though I loved Gnome2 and loved the Gtk+2 toolkit, Gnome has managed to "Mandriva--ize" both. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
