Ostras pedrín que para que la impresora de red Brother funcionara en opensuse había que instalar la librería de USB de 32 bits.... sí, librería de USB, de 32 bits, para imprimir por red.
Pero ha funcionado.
Mi no entender.
En ocasiones pienso que la informštica es una evolución de la magia negra y que los ordenadores debían arder en la hoguera.

Top tip for improving openSUSE performance on somwhat-constrained systems (e.g. Ryzen 7 3700C/16GB RAM ex-Chromebook): get rid of btrfs. The constant fs housekeeping tasks grind it to a halt, and it's not the quickest to begin with. This thing absolutely FLIES with XFS. Oh no, no snapshots, guess I'd better just treat it like every previous Linux system I've ever had :P

Mitte Oktober endet der Support für Windows 10. Dass Microsoft seine Kundschaft dazu auffordert, Millionen von funktionierenden Computern wegzuwerfen, ist ein gigantisches Umweltverbrechen.
Wenn Microsoft kein Windows 11 auf deinem Windows-10-Laptop laufen lassen will, dann nutze die Gelegenheit doch, mal Linux auszuprobieren!
Ich freue mich schon auf die Linux-Install-Party m…

I've been thinking about trying OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for a few days now. My last attempt was several years ago.

Been playing around with openSUSE TW on a laptop for a few days and noticed the battery life was horrendous.
Apparently I forgot about installing the trusted old tlp. All is now well.
I did also notice that tuned seemed to be the default, which zypper demanded to be uninstalled in order for tlp to be installed instead. Admittedly I hardly know the difference.

Ich frag mich echt was grade im LinuxCommunitys los ist. Hab OpenSuSE runtergeladen, gestartet wurde in 800x600. Dann wurde der Install Launcher gestartet, nicht wie früher wo man zuerst Desktop auswählen, nein es wurde gleich Respos runtergeladen und auch gleich die Pladde ausgewählt, die man nehmen soll.

Tried Wayland Plasma 6 on openSUSE on a ThinkPad P14s G5 AMD last night:
-Firefox doesn't render properly
-TrackPoint is nearly unusably twitchy and doesn't respond to speed/acceleration settings
-Input latency makes it difficult to control the mouse pointer accurately
That was enough for me to log out and return to an X session. Once they finish deleting X11 from all distros and removing any X support from modern DEs, I guess I'll just get a Mac. We had a …

I'm giving up on CachyOS. Sank the rest of my evening into it, to no avail. DNS resolution is still unreliable in pacman and Firefox (and everything else) even after taking my network-local DNS server out of the chain, getting rid of systemd-resolved, and trying several different providers (quad9, Cloudflare, Google). The other ThinkPad running openSUSE is having no such issues tonight: it's CachyOS specific (since I see no evidence that it is a hardware issue - local network traffic…

Having a bizarre Python performance issue:
same program running on three systems. On the system which has the best Python benchmark scores, it performs the worst. On the oldest system with the worst Python benchmark scores, it performs the best. The worst and best systems are both Ryzen 7 zen4 and zen3 running openSUSE TW; the middle child is a 2020 MacBook Air M1.
wtf?
