The only time I used openSUSE was when I worked at Lowes. (I liked it.)

What did you use it for? I think the POS I used when I worked retail had suse on it. I am still rocking openSuse which is weird. I'd thought I would have hopped off it for arch or pop!_OS but I haven't yet.

honestly that's so true- as a total Linux noob I need something familiar to work with that's not entirely gonna throw me in the deep end, as I'm coming off Windows for the last... well basically forever! I should try Ubuntu eventually, I've been messing with Mint on a live USB to get the feel of things but haven't made the jump due to storage stuff atm.

But I agree, if it works for you then it works. I don't think it's more like morally pure to just work in terminal or just work with a desktop interface, it's *your computer* at the end of the day. you use it how you like

I worked there as a cashier. The POS system and the employee computers (used for training and clocking in) used openSUSE. They booted fast and didn't have any issues, it was great.

HERESY!

I use Arch, BTW

(And also Bazite on my old secondary PC)

I started using Linux (around end of 2023 beginning of 2024 ) with Pop_OS, and even with the difficulties of someone who has only used Windows all their life, it wasn't hard to get used to the new workflow. Pop_OS was awesome and met everything I needed :D

When I started to get more comfortable and experiment with window managers it seemed more convenient to migrate to Arch (middle to end of 2024), where I could find the packages I wanted more easily. The installation script gave me a good basis for what I needed from the system without the scary parts of the manual one, and for now I'm using Hyprland with Gnome DE as fallback and it's been great.

like @rose_buddy, I also haven't had any problems so my opinion may change in a few updates haha
