openSUSE Tumbleweed vs openSUSE MicroOS

I recently came across openSUSE again and decided to give it a try this time. I am daily driving Fedora 40 right now and before coming across openSUSE I wanted to switch to Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora (i.e., immutable / atomic). That’s why MicroOS piqued my interest but I had a hard time find information if MicroOS is...

theorangeninja,

Thank you.

In the MicroOS portal it is described like this:

Rolling Release: Every new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot also automatically produces a new openSUSE MicroOS release.

So it should get the latest software pretty fast too, right?

theorangeninja,

Yes I already use the Fedora KDE Spin right now, it’s awesome!

I didn’t know that it uses X11 because Fedora uses Wayland already for a few major releases.

I think I found a solution for your problem recently. Are you familiar with distrobox? AFAIK you can use it on top of your OS, in this case Tumbleweed, and install another OS in a container, like Arch, and then export the programs installed from AUR or whatever to your host OS.

But nonetheless thank you, I think I should just try it out in a virtual machine or something.

theorangeninja,

Thank you very much! I read about those. Maybe it’s time to try out GNOME again, I don’t want to use a too early version of an OS. Altough I fell in love with KDE, especially KRunner!

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...

theorangeninja,

I recently stumbled upon OpenSuse again and want to try it out but can’t decide if I should use Tumbleweed or MicroOS. Did you ever try MicroOS?

theorangeninja,

I thought MicroOS is like Fedora Silverblue and an atomic desktop?

theorangeninja,

Can you elaborate? I think I didn’t understand your point.

theorangeninja,

I’m not a developer so I can’t really check myself

theorangeninja,

They should provide an app for other distros then!

theorangeninja,

Well I think you have to distinguish between a messenger and other programms, because a messenger has a lot of sensitive data.

theorangeninja,

What is that if I may ask?

theorangeninja,

AppImages run on nearly every distro. Why arw they not providing that instead of a .deb?

theorangeninja,

This one? Because this is not official.

theorangeninja,

Sounds like a hacky way to do things, I don’t think I’m comfortable with that.

theorangeninja,

Not everyone feels comfortable doing that.

theorangeninja,

Appreciated, maybe I’ll try it in the future.

theorangeninja,

Not everyone is a developer and they closed issues on github so why bother?

theorangeninja,

Which is not verified. I can do that with a screenshot tool but I’d like my messenger to be verified.

theorangeninja,

rpm is less secure than deb?

theorangeninja,

I will not bother because issues are closed and pull requests rejected left and right from signal for years.

theorangeninja,

Fair

theorangeninja,

No idea

theorangeninja,

Signal aims to be the messenger you can tell your grandma to use. To live up to that promise they have to provide more packages.

theorangeninja,

We can hope for a fediverse alternative!

theorangeninja,

Are there any mobile apps for mbin yet? Last time I checked it was hard to find any.

theorangeninja,

Too bad. I guess I’ll have to wait a little longer to try it out then.

theorangeninja,

How does it compare to the banglejs 2 from espruino?

theorangeninja,

Maybe they removed it from the accounts because of the recent push from modders to patch an offline mode.

theorangeninja,

The community is dead, unfortunately.

theorangeninja,

Yes exactly, there should be a community or something. But I am not familiar with creating lemmy communities or moderating online forums so I don’t think I am a good fit.

theorangeninja,

Yes you definitely should. It’s great that we have an open alternative to the classic Minecraft with easier modding!

theorangeninja,

If they abuse their monopoly it sounds like the DMA should be applied.
