If you aren't rebelling, are you actually punk?
post
I tried getting in touch with my heritage and using OpenSUSE but it really doesn't click with me. From the installer to the whoke YaST thing, others love it but I'm just a bad German.
I also don't own a car or watch football so this tracks
The installer's partitioner and package selection can get a bit complicated, but imo it's a pretty guided experience. You also don't have to use YaST on OpenSUSE, it's just a nice alternative to having to copy commands from some random tutorial, and it's also being replaced: YAST is now Agama, Cockpit and Myrlyn on openSUSE
I know you kid and I'm sure you a good German but:
SUSE started in 1994 according to Wikipedia. At the time, it was one of the only good and stable Linux distribution that you could reliably install anywhere without tweaking configuration files all over the place.
IIRC, all the previous distributions have been obsoleted once Ubuntu was available.

I mean,yes and no? At the time, Ubuntu made itself an extremely prolific and easy to start linux experience. The adaptations that ubuntu presented have been replicated in several other distros now, and Canonical have made questionable choices to the point where Mint seems like THE beginner/minimal config distro, the things that are universally acceptable from Ubuntu are being rolled back into debian, and mint itself is trying to go for a debian based version which is basically the same level of friendliness.
While the packages are a shitshow (missing depends, etc. (Edit: I had multiple problems with shotcut because of this and grew frustrated enough that I just use the Appimage now)), the TW is updated very often and is really stable, it's on a level with fedora. Also the default firewall config is very strict, which is good.
Yes, the Yast installer is terrible and I had to do my encryption with ext4 (instead of BTRFS) manually in terminal, because the install would somehow break everything.
It's a mixed bag, but as a disorganized person who doesn't do regular updates and still likes to have new packages, I like it.
I mean, if you're punk and you aren't rebelling, then you aren't punk.
Ich benutze Arch, übrigens.
Bin eher ein ratten-nächstenliebe Genießer
I just can't not read "Open Sussy"
Bis du deutch muss du ersma Rechtschreibung
Tried it for pretty much that reason, turns out I hate its system GUI and can't be arsed to learn a different package manager than apt (at least not if it's not much faster and simpler than apt).

based and ubuntu tutorial crutch pilled. Just like me 😭
What I don't like about apt are the tools: What should I use? apt? apt-get? aptitude? In theory it shouldn't matter... But I'm always confused. openSUSE has zypper and nothing else. Fedora has dnf and an alias for yum (for the old folks I guess). Both may not be faster but they are less confusing.

that's not where I'm confused. You just use apt until it doesn't work for the specific command. The ubuntu "tutorials" sometimes use apt-get , but it's meant to be outdated on current debian.
the fun part is knowing when to use dpkg
IMO, only reason to ever use anything but apt at this point is if you want to process the output in a script. Used to be a bit more murky because there were actually a few apt-get commands that weren't available through apt.
Either way, I learned it this way when I could still be arsed to fuck around with Linux distros for fun, and now I'm kinda stuck with it.
Use apt. I think apt-get and such are only kept around to be used in scripts or for backwards compatibility.

What he say fuck me for?
SuSe 7.1 was my first experience with Linux, I got a boxed copy with paper manuals and everything. It was glorious, I learned so much from that.
Zange ndeutsch: Ich bin Deutsch also muss ich benutzen OpenSuse
Normales Deutsch: Ich bin Deutsch, also muss ich OpenSuse verwenden.
