I can't agree with that, sorry. The main distribution should work on any hardware that I can buy currently at the shop, and not force me to use "experimental" distribution.
This is impossible, because nobody can predict the future. You and Rainer are asking for a distro that, at the time of release, supports hardware that was not yet on the market.
No, we ask for optional, non-officially-suported, install images with recent kernel, and a repo with an optional recent kernel we can recommend these people to try. Leap, for known and accepted reasons, uses a much older kernel than other distros. Just a fact, and people outside rub it on our faces and we have to do the explaining. Recently, a friend said I was stupid (in very offensive wording) for using openSUSE. Anything besides Debian is being stupid. That his/her usb stick not working on my computer was my fault for not using a decent distro! I lost a friend. Don't even think I don't care or defend openSUSE.
For instance, the other day I was trying to help someone on Usenet with a network that would not work on Leap but did on Ubuntu, out of the box.
So find out why! Is it a kernel issue? If not, in what subsystem is it? Is it a driver?
Well, I'm trying. I convinced him to post a bugzilla about it (1119574). He has installed Ubuntu and Leap alternatively several times, he has posted boot logs of both distros... You can find the thread in nntp:alt.os.linux.suse. My WiFi knowledge is limited. And yes, I was not successful getting him to post here instead. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
