I love to see other people enjoying such simple but powerful brain flooding dopamine ! That awwwwww moment is really enjoayble, for others and yourself ! Hope you will have fun with openSUSE ! I'm also thinking to switch from Debian to OpenSUSE for my daily drive. Debian as server is fantastic, but got some quirks running it with backports and testing. Maybe a skill issue? Probably, but trying something different will give me the necessary boost to find out 😄 permalink fedilink source parent
