| Workstation: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - Rolling release with QA. If a package has issues the update will get delayed. It doesn't just update to the last commit blindly. - Btrfs root partition with automated snapshots. Ext4 and XFS for my home folder. GRUB integration for snapshots so you can reboot to a read-only snapshot and rollback.
It's all installed and configured automatically if you want. --- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper - Zypper package manager --- https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage - Automated QA (even for graphical applications) --- https://openqa.opensuse.org/ - Free build service --- https://build.opensuse.org/ If you want to install TW I don't recommend the net installer, breaks often and mirrors are slow. For updates switch to a TTY (or use GNU Screen) and run zypper dup, do not update packages in any other way. There's YaST but I don't like using it except for a few tools like Software Management to study package relationships. >What problems do you face with them and what changes would you like them do make? It could be my lack of knowledge of the package manager but sometimes I can't remove some packages without removing a lot of related ones (it's not a pattern), or they get reinstalled even with zypper lock. Other than that, best distro I ever used. Server: I want to move away from Ubuntu (fuck snap btw) but I still haven't decided to what distro. I might just use a container based OS. |
