Snappy compression sles12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I am purposely choosing to not use the Firefox snap for a few reasons. I don't care too much since a bad update can easily be reverted, and I'm sure if you've hung out with SUSE people they always remind you how much they put into testing, so sure, I'm in.Īfter you install you'll have a nice GUI desktop. Note that you will be tracking Tumbleweed, so you'll be rolling. I chose GNOME but I don't see a reason why KDE wouldn't work. This ISO lets you install the server container OS, and has alpha options for GNOME and KDE. While that is downloading watch this talk from Dario Faggioli, it will give you the background you need to know to get started, it's not quite a normal distro, but this helped me figure this out. Snaps effectively replaced PPAs for me, they have all the stuff I need, they are centralized, automatically update, and the big one, transactional. So I decided to marry two things, MicroOS and Snaps. I decided to try openSUSE because I know Rich had been working on this, but didn't know how far he had come along, and I was also familiar with it as a container host OS for servers. Today I tweeted how I got snaps working on openSUSE, here's the picture: Time to throw all that away, no wonder ChromeOS is kicking everyone else's butt! The most common PPA questions have millions and millions of views. It's time to move on from PPAs, dpkg-reconfigure, 404 errors, half-applied updates. While Ubuntu Core Desktop isn't a thing (it should be!), there are other distros playing in this space, namely Fedora Silverblue, EndlessOS, and openSUSE MicroOS. I am trying to remove mutable computing devices from my life, one the biggest offenders is Ubuntu LTS. It's not too complex, mostly realizing that this was possible and good documentation from the openSUSE folks made this way easier than I thought. This is my unofficial entry for openSUSE's Hack Week 20. Chromebooks are too reliable, the only way for "traditional linux" to compete is to throw away traditional linux.- Jorge Castro □□ March 13, 2021 Silverblue, Ubuntu Core, and SUSE MicroOS is the obvious future. UPDATE2: I can't get the method linked above to survive reboots, so keeping my method here for now. ![]() UPDATE: Apparently this is documented in the openSUSE revamped docs - just follow those instructions! ![]()
