The vast majority of users in the Linux community limit themselves to only three categories: Debian / Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, but you can not find the OpenSuse distribution, despite the power of the distribution and its suitability for beginners. In this post we will review the four main reasons that will make you Really prefer to use OpenSUSE, here are the reasons:
- Community laws
I have seen many problems that users of some distributions complain about after an update, after developers have made some adjustments to their preferred distributions; but in OpenSucy, it is different because of community power and the authority of strict laws. The changes to be added are subject to community order and discussion And tight review, which makes the problems very few, because the goal is to provide a standard system for users.
2 - solid as a rock
Another important thing, the integration of the operating system, you can install a large amount of desktop interfaces without problems on OpenSUSE, but on Ubuntu and other will encounter many inconsistencies and problems in the stability of the system, here is reflected the strength and stiffness of the OpenSUSE system, To accept difficult tasks for end users.
3 - Easy software installation
At Linux, we have many great package management software, from Ubuntu apt-get to Fedora's DNF, and others ... The package manager plays an important role in bringing users to the distribution, especially when it has plenty of software and ease of installation.
OpenSUSE has a huge web-based software ( software.opensuse.org ) and is an online portal that can be easily used to instantly install any program you want after typing its name in the search and then pressing Direct Install. Similar to the play store, right?
4-YAST Giant Control Center
The best control center in the world at all literally. OpenSUSE has a great program called YAST. It is one of the main features of the distribution. You can control everything there. All the settings and all the system customization and tuning styles are in that program. in one place.
We do not forget that OpenSuite (Novell) is one of the largest developers of Linux kernel, and has good support for hardware and hardware.
What do I choose? OpenSuse Leap or OpenSuse Tumbleweed ?
leapvstumbleweed
There are two versions of OpenSuzy, Leap and Tumbleweed, although both offer a similar experience or similar environment, but the difference is as follows:
The Leap version is suitable for all users (daily home work, business, libraries and schools). This version is released every 8 months. This version contains stable software, and the latest stable version is 42.1.
Tumbleweed is a rolling version (updated quickly and continuously) and therefore contains the latest version of the software (and therefore it is not necessarily stable), so it is suitable for developers and advanced users who want to get the latest versions of the software.
