Looks alright to me.

Not a specialist, but I suppose it has to do with having different configurations for different top level folder. In Unix-like systems, every top level folder have a different purpose, and what works for the root may not for /tmp, /swap, etc.

In those example, no need to snapshot /tmp, as it is a forder whose file are bound to be deleted, and for which being able to restore has no use.
/swap is pretty similar , and is often formated with a dedicated filesystem.
/usr often only change during the package manager transactions, so snapshots are often tied to that, while /home may be set to keep daily snapshots.

Pedantic? Say the person that immediately assume anyone with a different opinion than his is a morron and did not read his previous message ?

Here is some gaming benchmark. It is from 2022, sure, but is still relevant today to illustrate that gaming performance on Linux isn’t as easy as being the “same software with different configuration”.

And I could go on with other games, which had different results.

There are many variables that can affect those performance. Obviously, the Kernel, Driver and Mesa version has a big influence, but so have some less obvious causes like the filesystem used, the compiler options used, or even the compiler itself. That’s why those performances can vary so much in benchmarks.

Phoronix many benchmarks proves the opposite. There is differences, even at the same Mesa/Kernel version.
The difference between an hyper optimized distro, like Clear Linux (optimized for Intel CPUs), and more general ones (Ubuntu, Fedora) can be huge.
Even between those general purposes distro, the technology choices (filesystem, scheduler, etc.) can make a considerable difference in some games/workloads.

For overclocking you have LACT.

You can also change this behavior in libzypp configuration file, if I recall well.

:q!

Unfortunately not.

“The XDNA driver will work with AMD Phoenix/Strix SoCs so far having Ryzen AI onboard.”. So only mobile SoC with dedicated AI hardware for the time being.

On OpenSUSE, in Yast bootloader tool, there is a checkbox to to do something like locking the bootloader (it has been a while, I don’t remember the exact thingy). Rebooted and oh, surprise, the bootloader was locked… Which mean Grub didn’t load.

I had to reinstall the whole OS 🤣

Proton experimental moves quite a lot. Maybe they moved to a new version of something that broke your install for a reason or another.

I didn’t see any wine binaries in my Linux native game. Care to give a few examples?

Yeah, Blender. This piece of software never ceases to amaze me.

Like I said, last time I checked even a “user” level Flatpak required to use the root password to install. But it may have changed (for the better) since, which is a good thing.

Still, my main point is that most the paranoia of the default OpenSUSE settings is way overboard, and should be toned down quite a lot. A lot of action that would ask for the user password, if not no password at all, requires the root password on OpenSUSE.

I want to use OpenSUSE over Ubuntu or Fedora, I even started contributing back with some package updates here and there, but I just can’t because of those bothering root password prompts everywhere.

There is progress, but still not fit for everyday use.

I have used TW for years, and never got bothered by a breaking change for more than a day. And that only happened twice.

The only thing that keeps bothering me with Opensuse is their obsession with asking for a root password (and not for yours if you are an administrator, I mean the root user password) for every damn thing. Even installing a fucking user Flatpak requires a fucking root password !

Actually my dad prefer the default UI. But he used Windows 95 and the office suite that goes with it for a long time, so his habits are hard to loose.

Still waiting for them to admit that a dictionary that automatically changes according to the keyboard you use is a bad idea.
If I manually select the Spanish language it is that I want to write Spanish. Not for the software to switch back to English as soon as I enter any keystroke.

Maybe I should take a look once again then.

That was something that frustrated me a lot back in the days as I had to constantly log in Minecraft launcher each time I wanted to play, same with XIVLauncher, and some other games I forgot about.

In KDE, proper secrets handling.

It is now.
