Doesn’t look like it currently supports powershell or bash. I don’t code but I do a fair bit of scripting. I’ve played a tiny bit with AI assisted scripting but it’s generally left a lot to be desired.

was coming in here to mention rclone, which is pretty cool stuff. this sort of sounds like a pretty wrapper for rclone, which means this should be pretty neat too. I’ll have to check it out.

Yeah. I often kick myself for getting an nvidia card. My former distro was Ubuntu so I’m familiar with it from that end. I can see how having a constantly updating kernel could cause pain with the nvidia drivers. Even on leap or Ubuntu any tine the nvidia drivers updated it took a fair bit of extra time for regular apt/zypper processing kernel stuff and whatnot.

im going to keep a sharp eye on slowroll. I might be crazy enough to (eventually) try to convert from leap 15.5 to tumbleweed to slowroll. If it all blows up I was probably going to have to do that anyway.

Tell me more about your Tumbleweed+NVIDIA problems. I’m on Leap 15.5, but with all this I’ve thought about moving over to Tumbleweed or Fedora. My card is NVIDIA, so I’m not looking for a big headache.

I don’t think it’s necessarily universal in US libraries either. I’m not in a big city, but overall our library system is pretty good. They have a number of branches with “maker labs” so there are things like Cricuts, sewing machines, laser cutters, audio recording/production equipment and 3D printers you can rent. I’d recommend at least checking around.

Check your library. Mine has one available to use at many of the branches in my area. If I ever come up with something to print instead of buying one I’m going to try that out. Then if I decide to get really into it, I’ll have practical knowledge to know what I’d actually want to buy.

Instead, I’ve just never done any 3D printing, which is also fine.

I had to put in extra effort to find a manual (USA), but I was successful. I’m going to hold onto this thing in perpetuity until the wheels fall off or (reliable) fully autonomous vehicles are “standard”.

My opinion is probably in line with most; that for general “news” it’s just fine. For niche topics, most aren’t here or at least aren’t as robust as Reddit

There are two relatively minor features that I do wish would be implemented:

  1. homepage defaults to Subscribed instead of all, or at least a way to set that as the default

  2. a quick jump to top of page button that stays present when you’ve scrolled way down the page. Not sure if that was a RIF addition or native to Reddit, but that was a nice quality of life feature

Neat! SUSE was technically my first Linux distro I installed probably circa 2006 via 3 or 4 CDs on some old donated hardware. I played around with it for a bit but never really dove in. A few years later I tried Ubuntu from a “demo” CD I got in Linux magazine and outside of a bit of experimental distro hopping I’ve been mostly on Ubuntu for the last 17ish years. Just about 3 weeks ago, I decided to install openSUSE again. Was split between tumbleweed and Leap, but decided to go with Leap (15.5). It’s a bit different coming from a .deb based system, but I’m digging it so far. Kind of crazy that the build I installed so long ago was probably one of the first releases of SUSE.
