Absolutely yes. The Community is very friendly and helpful (even compared to the big ones like Arch or Debian). And thanks to the QA the have the best RR in my opinion.
Did the upgrade a few minutes ago. No problems so far and everything feels very smooth when it comes to animation, desktop effects etc.
No. Tumbleweed is a pure rolling release containing the latest “stable” versions of all software and is updated once Factory’s bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested by openQA. So the stability comes before bleeding edge.
Unless someone steps in as a maintainer and will continue to work on it.
There are lot’s of reasons not to do so, but the most important one is probably that Slimbook uses barebones from Tongfang. You can configure the barebones to some extend but mostly only screen resolution, cpu, gpu and cooling. The smaller things like USB ports are not as configurable as you might thing.
I’m curious to see how the new installer feels and whether it’s really better than the old one.
Yeah, don’t know why the Pytnon stuff is in the Frameworks section. I just copy & pasted news.opensuse.org.
