Comparing to Fedora, it is more easier to install virtualbox. However, still problems. e.g. hddtemp installed, but somehow it is not shown when using which, and not runnable... no idea why... it works perfectly on Fedora 30. because of hddtemp, it break my conkyrc. but at least runnable. Tumbleweed cannot even run my conkyrc, creating floating point error .... The biggest problem is it takes long time to download the DVD.iso, but it tooks over 2 hrs to install as it still go goes to opensuse repo to download the latest version. so why bother creating DVD.iso? i tried the small live version, but not so smooth, you need to enter the repo yourself.... it is disappointing., why not enable opensuse repo by default.... I am not even talking about packman repo... I can enter it manually later.... the installation process is extremely slow and inefficient when comparing to Fedora... But once installed, things are ok. not too bad... Conclusion: ok, can be improved... Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: tumbleweed Rating: 9 Date: 2019-10-07 Votes: 1 I have been using tumbleweed since it was named tumbleweed, with only one major issue. One computer has tumbleweed installed with BTRFS while the second computer uses EXT4 instead of BTRFS. This computer was used while solving a problem with broken systems after updates using BTRFS. The problem was solved after learning to deleting unwanted snapshots before updating. I have never re-installed the OS, nor had a problem now for over three years. Impressive for near bleeding edge OS. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 15.1 Rating: 9 Date: 2019-09-25 Votes: 1 Works perfectly with Plasma desktop in my everyday use. Yast is a must-have tool. Snapper has saved my OS (oS) a couple of times. I am using it for browsing Internet (Firefox), mailing (Thunderbird), developing images (RawTherapee), converting videos (Handbrake), listening music (Cantata), watching movies (VLC) and so on, since 2011. I used openSUSE beside Windows 7 on a dual-boot system initially, mainly for browsing the Internet (for security reasons). Later I started using more other purposes too. And some years ago, on a rainy day, I converted my Windows installation into a virtual machine (and a Ghost image), then formatted its partition. Recently, I use Windows 7 (under VirtualBox) when I want to use my Canon scanner, or when I want to download tracks from my Bluetooth GPS. My machine is a Dell OptiPlex 755 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400, 8GB DDR2 RAM, Gigabyte Radeon HD 5450, 128 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD). Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 352 reader reviews of openSUSE...
