This is a good comparison but I think you missed one vital thing about SUSE. BTRFS and Snapper as default. Any update goes bad and rollback takes all of 10 minutes. It is all setup with reasonable defaults on your install and it removes all concerns I had about a rolling release.

Hello I am a newbie on this project, but, I remember having a LInux Suse laptop younger and I liked the logo and design of the OS. However, now I would like to try again Linux (I am on windows and apple), I want to learn coding and be on something neutral as an open OS. Is SUSE the same as Ubuntu, Cinnamon, etc ? Or am I wrong everywhere ? I need some tips ... I am really a newbie ... How can I get Suse onto a laptop ? Are there some with Suse by default into them or should I always download it after buying a laptop with a Ubuntu version ?

[@lisovyy]

thanks for highlighting OpenSUSE. I'm a daily user myself so this is kind of a pleasure :)

[@justinhall3243]

I have used both extensively over the last 25 odd years. Since Gnome 3 came out I prefer SuSE as it is KDE all the way.

[@lsatenstein]

I use Fedora and SUSE leap15.4. I do my compiling with the latter, and then run the compiled programs on each. SUSE Leap's compiled programs seem to be 10% smaller in size for the same functionality. I am second guessing that the compiler libraries are very highly optimized by SUSE.

[@larsradtke4097]

11:40 package kit running in the background, just wait until it finishes, on boot up it checks for updates takes some minutes after boot. Then you re free to install and whatever you want without issues. Network manager, switch in Yast to either yast or user controlled. Yes, there are apps installed, so you can directly start and use them, otherwise select minimal install. I definitely prefer OpenSUSE over every other distribution, because of Yast. And that my Ryzen+ nvida combo notebook works out of the box without fiddling with tumbleweed and 5 connected.

[@titanbringer9635]

I am really surprised the "Everything" installer version of Fedora wasn't mentioned, especially since it incorporates all the same things as the OpenSUSE installer. Makes people think there is only Gnome with Fedora, when there are plenty of other options for desktop environments.

Thats exactly why I made a video on Fedora Everything 💪😎

[@Hartvigson]

That is what made me choose between Arch, Manjaro and Tumbleweed when I left Debian Sid. I will never use Gnome, I really don't like it. I thought Fedora came with gnome as default.

[@siliconhawk9293]

wait there is a better installation i kinda dont like the default installer. it just feels un-intuitive to me. i know what they are trying to do there with minimal setup so as to not scare away users. but personally i feel like as if i am not in control of the installer (i know thats not the case necessarily but it gives that feeling)

[@rondencer5227]

I like cinnamon.

[@itzzyaboyterr]

I've used both fedora and opensuse (tumbleweed) as daily driver's and they're both very stable. In my experience it's easier to install the software I use on fedora but it was easier for me to use multiple desktop environment's on opensuse. I currently use fedora on my laptop and might install fedora or opensuse on my main PC again. Overall I like both distributions.

[@logan225]

Started on opensuse back in 2005 (bought a burned cd from ebay). Distro hopped for over a decade and came back to tumbleweed. I love it. It even made me a fan of KDE when I've been using gnome2 and mate up until now.

[@stephenwilson0386]

Tumbleweed finally put an end to my distro hopping earlier this year. I started with KDE and didn't care for it (not SUSE's fault, I just always find KDE to be buggy) but YaST makes it ez-pz to change your desktop, so now I'm running Cinnamon and love it. I might also install Fedora 37 on a secondary SSD, but Tumbleweed is my primary system and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[@viacheslavspitsyn2995]

[@Subh8081]

OpenSuSE's KDE is one of the best implementations of KDE along with Manjaro while Fedora's GNOME is one of the best implementations of GNOME. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a bit more demanding on RAM than OpenSuse Leap as per my experience.

[@Herminafried]

Since this month i´m using Linux Desktop for 20 years. I started with Suse Linux 8.1 with KDE. 20 years and many distro hopps later I´m on Fedora 37 Workstation. When Fedora is now my favorite daily driver, opensuse tumbleweed is my alltime number two as a professional working base.

[@TVPInterpolation]

if it hasnt been shown in the video, theres also fedora "everything" which gives you quite a bit more to pick from in anaconda, and might suit the need of someone who wants multiple desktop environments installed, or just more choice available.

[@ArniesTech]

Yepps, just did a Video on that. Love Fedora Everything 💪🙏

[@keyboard_g]

One gotcha in Suse is if you remove a package that was installed as part of a pattern, it will auto reinstall. There is a setting to stop that, but you have to know and go hunt in a config file. Thats my only complain with all of Suse. Some things are clunky. Overall I view Tumbleweed as Arch done right.

Funny you mention DNF’s slowness. DNF4 (the current version on Fedora) was written in Python. DNF5, which is coming with Fedora 39 I believe, is written in C++ and is ridiculously faster than DNF4.

Yeah, I have dnf5 installed from a copr repo and it's decently fast, lighnting fast when compared to dnf4. Scared to use it though, because it might f up my shit. It shows that upgrades are available, but those same upgrades aren't shown by dnf4.

[@arkvsi8142]

I like TempleOS since it runs Microsoft Office natively

[@eadthem0]

The reason for a delay in zypper and yast2 software is it fully syncs the repo status before doing anything. I find this step is faster on the 2nd run. This is apposed to my limited experience with some others just failing at the install step until you manually do a resync or say update repos.

[@chairman67]

Neither of these worked best for me.. Manually adding the mirrors from a web list for OpenSUSE was troublesome. And I couldn't add the repositories in Yast because of a certain Great Firewall causing its problems. I'm not a fan of Fedora's installer to configure a manual partition layout for my PC.. Anaconda is horrible compared to Calamares. There is no best Linux out there.. My advice is find a distro and D.E. that works best for you whatever it may be, and stick with it !

[@MegaManNeo]

I use Tumbleweed for quite a while after coming from Mint KDE which has been discontinued years ago. Sure, the installer feels a little like Windows 98 from its looks and if you are on nVidia Graphics, openSuSE is anything but simple to set up. Also multimedia codecs are annoying but outside of that, I feel like it's the best mixture so far when it comes to usability and cutting edge software. Plus, I love KDE Plasma and SUSE ever since makes sure this DE shines on their distro.

[@pavelperina7629]

Interesting, I used Manjaro for pretty much the same reasons. I'd like to experiment with FerenOS a bit. OpenSuse is not bad, but TW is upgraded too often for my taste, whereas Leap is pretty good and stable.

May I add the update process for tumbleweed is rock solid? Arch installations I’ve left for a month have broken on updating and needed a reinstall, whereas I’ve seen someone’s 6 month old tumbleweed installation swap out nearly every package in the system with no errors.

[@sebtheanimal]

You are correct in that Fedora is one of the best. I am a long time linux user, since the 90s, Caldera, Red Hat, Slackware, SuSe a bit later, 2001 and so forth and so on, Fedora Core 2. Rpm is familiar territory and very powerful. I avoid Ubuntu because it is dumbed down to a typical Windows user, which is a good thing for a Windows user which is not a bad thing at all, might as well skip ahead and run Debian.

[@keyboard_g]

Suse really helped me learn more about Linux. Play around with things, Yast to point in the right direction. Accidentally screw it up, just rollback in Snapper.

I think AUR can be replaced with the OBS (yes you can also use it with Arch). If you have some packaging experience you can also port these AUR packages into a rpm based distro.

[@BarateonLP]

For anyone wanting to try an OpenSuse system i would straight up recommend picking up Gecko Linux instead. It's pr much exactly like OpenSuse, except their entire point is to make it more user friendly and better working out of the box (as well as more supported DEs). As a Tumbleweed user i gotta say nothing is more annoying than after an install realising half of the videos on KZbin wont work and then faintly remember that you have to add the packman repo and make a vendor change to get proper media codecs working. If i knew that existed earlier i would've picked them immediately. Also best feature imo is the preconfigured snapper making a rollback of the system a matter of seconds if anything ever goes wrong (like adding and changing to the KDE dev repos and realising stuff doesn't work as well anymore, no that i would no anything about that).

[@BernhardErnst]

One major problem that I had with Fedora and other distributions was that the drive partition layout gets nicely setup during installation. The moment that you select another drive because of dual booting, then there is no such setup and you need to know what particular particular partition setup the distribution needs. I used to use SUSE Linux many years ago, haven't really touched OpenSUSE. Gnome has started to bother me because of too many clicks to try and find applications, plus the delays waiting for animations. KDE in turn sometimes bothers me as well with how it does things. I did start looking into using window managers which can be confusing at first. My Laptop has Fedora 36 running. Uptime of 70 days reached. It is mostly running as a DNS and caching server, occasionally for watching television, KZbin or games when electricity is off for hours yet again.

YAST were created so that the OpenSUSE experience in KDE & Gnome *(EDIT: and all other DE)* were equal. Otherwise, the setting in KDE & Gnome *(and all other DE)* will be different.

Exactly. One simply has to love YaST. Such a great tool 💪

[@danielberglv259]

But then you strip away any other tool that it replaces and update the design to match the decade that we are in. YaST still looks like a 25 year old TK application and having multiple tools to perform the same tasks, just makes an OS seam messy. Besides, at the time YaST was created, DE's did not have very powerful configurations. For an example things like display settings mostly just included screen resolution, but only worked if you manually configured xorg.conf first, while other DE's lacked this feature all together. At that time Suse and Mandrake (Mandriva) where the only distro's to include proper GUI configuration. They where never any good though, as they where extremely slow and buggy. But without any real alternatives, who could complain.

@@5fr4ewq Everything's good. I still have plenty of heads. The heads are soft, but that's probably for the best. I rarely charge it. The way you cycle through modes is weird but not that bad. I would buy it again. 🦷

Does rpm work both ? Doe rpm repository from fedora work on suse

[@eduardobortolattolopes294]

I've tried to stick with fedora but it didn't work for me. I had a lot of problems like VPN (dns issues) and Microsoft teams. But still its my favorite distro. At work I use PopOS though.

[@duffelo]

Isnt uresourced a fedora exclusive that should have been mentioned?

[@sunwire]

1:58 In Fedora you can do the same. But you have to choose Fedora Everything instead of Fedora Workstation.

[@kevinpitts3548]

Although Suse 9 has a special place in my heart as it was my first! Fedora will be it for the foreseeable future

[@randomname2437]

Love or hate suse, but admit that they have the best Linux songs.

[@jhaokip23]

How about Fedora KDE vs openSUSE KDE?

[@johannesjoseph823]

I saw the cursed Tux drawing and I love it

[@piadas804]

Debian's package manager is DPKG, not APT.

[@rickcontreras4943]

Hi Sir thank you your videos awesome I love Susie, Tumbleweed but I’m having a problem and please forgive me on your intelligence. I am trying to capture CDs and I use a different applications to do it but it doesn’t record all of them. They’re very picky when they record them and I’m just wondering is there a script I can put in to capture all my CDs

[@luancarlosoliveira5128]

I don't think dnf is slow, the mirrors are, and yet there is option to configure it to automatically check for the fastest mirror and use deltarpms that reduce the size of the downloads

[@satyasaran3567]

fastest mirror I know, but how to use that delta rpms?

[@luancarlosoliveira5128]

@@satyasaran3567 Last time I' ve read the docs I remember it saying it's enable by default, probably would the case if you use fedora. But anyway, just add "deltarpm=True" to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

[@utx0]

Great vid. Still see no need to switch from Fedora. Its simple just works.

[@ccarofino14]

Fyi nobarra has the speed setting for updates and such pre installed. That’s why that went so fast. On one of my fedora servers updates take literally 8-10x longer then my Ubuntu servers (admittingly I use nala on that so that speeds up Ubuntu updates)

[@raynemallorca3571]

Beautiful Os But when i installed i had pure sound problems with my asus sound card RT

[@blueyZee]

i mean you only install a distro once so the installer should not affect your choice

[@docireland]

I tried tumbleweed, but the installation was slow.

[@AlbertoFeoli]

my only concern with Fedora is dnf and its peed updating. even after recommended changes seems to be slow by default.

[@hayohtee]

I just hit the same issue now lol

[@hansjaru]

I keep coming back to Manjaro even when i have tried fedora, opensuse, garuda and archcraft (i liked the new fedora 36).

[@riseabove3082]

Good video.

I'm think Yast a different target audience, it is more powerful vs. Desktop utilities that are more limited.

[@darsparx]

I mean, even with some stability issues can't be much worse than Fedora for me as of late (before being dumb and installing the 37 beta...). Though some of my problems are probably solely from my computer being a bit jank thanks to parts missing from my mobo (ram clips, broken USB 3 header, and I'm sure something else broke in the move...)

[@dubliv]

Just commenting to let you know that I too am one of your buddies at TechHut.

[@Tzalim]

I would never move from anything that doesn't have the AUR or Chaotic AUR. And that's why I'm on Garuda Lite (it was barebones).

[@pyntux]

Does anyone uses Suse + Gnome in a whole world, beside you? :D KDE is default on Suse and it is great, like Gnome on Fedora....

[@jesusmayeutico]

openSUSE Tumbleweed +XFCE best combo, R&R distro and stable desktop.

[@jezebel3025]

👆this.

[@NeilDoesStuff1]

I've never really ventured out of Debian distros. I need to fix that.

[@TheJunky228]

I'm very happy with opensuse leap

[@natsukirei2016]

i use Fedora because its the only distro that isnt ubuntu that uses Wayland by default which works with my RX 7600 that is a fairly new GPU, anything with a 6.1 or lower kernel and X11 has issues with a vanishing mouse with X11 or just wont boot like manjaro

[@snowman4933]

I actually was writing my code while listening to your video, and in the end part of the video, you said "which obviously if you didn't get the hint i" and I misunderstood it as "hentai" and I was like "wait what?". Rewinded, and finally understood.

[@Scott00]

Both of these distros are excellent and my 2 favorite at the moment.. But I ultimately settled on Fedora KDE spin, but if I have problems with Fedora then I'd be just as happy going back to TW.
