I have been running this for a few months and it was worked well. For the curious I did use BTRFS as my default file system, and KDE4 desktop. A few things I do after installing: * Install proprietary nvidia driver * Install steam (this is a 1 click install from the Suse Wiki) * Install namtrac:subpixel for good looking fonts (zipper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/namtrac:/subpixel/openSUSE_13.1/home:namtrac:subpixel.repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/namtrac:/sub...) * Install ksuperkey to use the windows key to open the menu Great release and nice to see the progress Linux is making!

Quick KDE question from a KDE noob: When you open the KDE Menu, is there any way to make it focus the search textbox by default? Or is there a faster way of searching an application or file other than opening the KDE menu?

  alt-f2 ?

    You can either hit ALT-F2 or you can just press ALT, hit the first letter of what you are looking for, release ALT, then continue typing. After hitting ALT-F2, you will see a little spanner on the left of the dialogue that opens. Click on that and you get additional options where to search for your term, including devices, bookmarks, applications, the calculator etc.

  On Debian (KDE 4.10) it does this by default. So, there must be a way to do it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what that configuration is. Maybe if you open it with your keyboard 'alt+f1'?

  Open a console window and (at the $ prompt) type: $ sudo zypper update findutils-locate (wait a couple of hours for the locatedb to build) $ locate fullOrPartialFileName (for case-insensitive search) $ locate -i fullOrPartialFileName

  Use Homerun instead of the default menu: http://software.opensuse.org/package/homerun http://software.opensuse.org/package/homerun http://userbase.kde.org/Homerun http://userbase.kde.org/Homerun

Yes, congratulations to the OpenSuse team and everyone who contributes to the growth of Linux. Reading what's new was interesting and, in some ways, exciting. In contrast, I live in fear whenever I read about what's new in the next iteration of Mac OS X. Btw: OpenSuse 13.1 is an Evergreen release, which is like a Ubuntu LTS release, and will receive maintenance for the next 3 years.
