Morning all,
we had recently a mail chain about perception of openSUSE. Today I stumbled over https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=jan2019-win-server&num=1 in which the performance of TW does not really look good, compared to other distros.
Personally I dont share this view, but I'm only using it on a laptop, and quite happy with it. Can one comment on the server side?
I run TW on a VPS, 2 Xeon cores, 4 GB RAM and have absolutely no complaints re. performance. But .... through some forums posts where people complained about TW booting slower I found that openSUSE starts quite some services others don't start until the admin tells them to start. We have the btrfs-maintenance service (others don't use btrfs), on some postfix is not used and so on. One user managed to get his TW booting ~as fast as Manjaro by disabling some services and removing stuff from initrd.
Well, that is something that can be worked on. The btrfs-maintenance service already isn't meant to get enabled by default anymore. postfix likely is quite superflous too. Cron probably used to pull it in but a default install should actually only use systemd timers nowadays. Mostly a matter of someone taking the topic to clean up a bit. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
