I switched from Fedora to openSUSE recently and it has been painless. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to get away from US companies and US jurisdiction. Edit: note that it uses RPM package manager though, I don’t know yet if that is problematic or not. If someone knows then please elaborate on that.

bipedalsheep@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Fedora 42 installer defaults to btrfs? What's everyone's opinion or experience on that?2·2 days agoI was pleasantly surprised to learn this with openSUSE as well last week. It already saved my buttocks once when I messed up something with the greetd config file. Recovering from the latest working snapshot was easy. OpenSUSE is a very nice distro. Bought some merch to support them a bit.
bipedalsheep@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?1·7 days agoI just haven’t bothered reading up on what atomic systems are yet. I get the gist of it, just not enought to really understand how it affects my current workflow if I were to switch.

Happy to see Sway being worked on. I did a clean install with openSUSEway last week and slowly but surely I’m starting to get it into the state I want from it. Hopefully this will be my final desktop environment.
bipedalsheep@programming.devto Europe@feddit.org•To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EUEnglish1·10 days agoWe probably would not stand to gain much. Our ex-prime minister Solverg is advocating for it because we would have a seat at the table and influence the economy that affects us more. Some economists say it would be beneficial economically for similar reasons, in addition to making the Euro our currency so trading with other European countries would be more stable and predictable, since now you pay less or more depending on how they fluctuate. The Norwegian Crowns (NOK) is not doing so well the past 10 years and there are worries that it will not recover again etc. I like the NOK currency myself. Depending on what business you are in having the crown become worth less could be a good thing.

When I type on other keyboards (which I try to avoid whenever possible) I still use qwerty. Curious thing, I write at about 70 wpm with 99% accuracy with colemak-dh on my Moonlander but I can’t pass 10 wps when using colemak-dh on other keyboards, and I have no hope in hell writing with qwerty on the Moonlander at all. The motor memory is completely decoupled between the split keyboard and the non-split keyboard. Which I guess is good, since then when using someone else’s keyboard I won’t have issues using their keyboard.
bipedalsheep@programming.devto Europe@feddit.org•To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EUEnglish71·16 days agoI dunno. We like being able to make our own decisions and self-govern. I’d be surprised if the majority voted in favor of joining the EU even now. As the article states, yeah it seems the common citizen want to distance themselves from the US now, but we live a pretty good life already and there are many unknowns regarding what joining the EU will mean for us in the long term. I don’t wanna join the EU just to spite the US, however tempting that is right now. Though I believe signaling the middle finger to the US government is important, – I will do it in other ways in the short term at least. I have started moving all personal products and services out of US companies and into the EU etc.
Correct, Tumbleweed is the one I started using.
