- Bootvis 8y agoAt least explain why you think it's horrid.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoPersonally, I tried it and had issues with package availability. It reminds me of RHEL without EPEL. Granted, there might be an equivalent that I didn't know about. EDIT/PS: this was particularly unfortunate, because ironically I really liked the package manager itself and the rest of the system was pretty decent.
- cyphar 8y agoHave you looked at Packman (one of the more well-known unofficial repos), or OBS (https://build.opensuse.org/ https://build.opensuse.org/)?
- diffeomorphism 8y agoI thought it has quite a bit of software but splits it into more repositories (and handles many repositories better): https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=steam https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=steam
- krylon 8y agoI run openSUSE on three desktop machines at home (2x Tumbleweed, 1x Leap), and I am mostly very happy with it. Hardware support is relatively good, and the system is fairly stable. Tumbleweed breaks things sometimes, but I would say that is to be expected on a rolling release distro. Thanks to snapshots, I can always roll back to a working state if something does break. To get a fully usable multimedia-capable desktop, one has to add a few package repositories, but that happens on other distros, too.
