If you’re referring to openSUSE rather than Linux in general, I have had the opposite experience. I had been on Manjaro for the past couple of years and decided to switch to openSUSE Tumbleweed on a whim and everything for the most part has just worked out of the box with minimal troubleshooting (or just a lot less than I remember when I was originally configuring my Manjaro install). What all have you had problems with?
it takes like 45 seconds for my OS to wake from sleep
sometimes my login screen is on my left monitor, sometimes on my right, sometimes on both!
It took me 3 hours to get wallpaper engine running
My package manager keeps telling me I am missing dependencies that I have verified exist.
video games dont perform as well on Linux as they do on windows (even baby games like Risk of Rain Returns which should run on pretty much anything perfectly)
half the time I reboot my computer I get some weird nvidia error, other times I dont at all. Generally when I reboot my computer it just stalls for like 45 seconds before actually rebooting.
it was very unclear what I needed to install to get the latest nvidia drivers installed. Got it working after a few hours of trial and error.
theres some more complaints but those are the ones off the top of my head.
oh also applying themes seems very broken. Every time I apply a theme it grabs icons from a completely different theme. For instance I applied a theme called dracula, didnt like it so I switched back to the opensuse default theme, after a while I found a different theme and applied it but suddenly all of my icons were dracula theme again… also its very hit or miss whether all of the theme actually applies.
id like to think this is because I alone decided to install opensuse (its been an awful experience)
Do you mean Linux in general or just Open suse? Never used it other than booting it up and trying out the live environment
Feel the pain 😂.
Opensuse is a challenge after living in Debian world for a while.
Pop-os is where I eventually ended up. Ubuntu with built in i3 style tiling and none of the snap garbage.
