The case for Linux and openSUSE is clear. Linux provides viable, cost-effective and sustainable alternatives. Users can enjoy a free, open-source operating system that doesn’t require costly upgrades or restrictive hardware requirements with installing openSUSE. Here are a few things users that want to transition can consider:
- Complete Transparency: Linux distributions like openSUSE are governed by open-source principles, ensuring clear and consistent development.
- No Forced Obsolescence: openSUSE supports a wide range of hardware like modern machines to older PCs that allow users to extend the life of their devices.
- Cost Savings: openSUSE is free to use, with no licensing fees or hidden subscription costs for extended support.
By switching to Linux, users can help combat e-waste as every PC saved from a landfill is a win for the environment.
openSUSE is the GOAT for several reasons, but by far my favorite reason is Zypper.
I’m daily driving it for ~3 years and I only started yast once to see why everyone praises it so much and second time when I actually needed something (don’t even know if I suceeded or failed).
Snapper on the other hand… That is a bit I praise the most! I still don’t get it why it’s not default for more distros…
