I tried, I really tried... I've been attempting to install Open SUSE (both TW and L) on my new i7-12700k system. TW gets into the installer, but doesn't complete (says that packages have been edited and can't install a font. gets stuck at 45%. With Leap, not even able to find any disc drives or even the DVD/USB it's booting from.
Saw this video, decided to give give Gecko a shot (had time to kill and nothing to lose.) Success. But it was fleeting.
After going into the Display setting to change from mirrored to spanned monitors. All screens went black with a mouse curser. re-starting with only a single monitor plugged in got me back to the desktop. but It wont hot-register additional monitors plugged in. When re-starting. After sign in. 3 black screens with a mouse curser...

Wasn't openSUSE bought out by Microsoft after being harrassed by lawsuits from MS for decades in their attempt to claim all of -nix code for themselves?
In any case I don't use openSUSE. in my opinion it has Never been as good an OS as those others I find to soak up my time and resources.
My appologies if OpenSUSE was not bought/pirated by Microsoft, if it was a different Linux OS then my animosity belongs with them instead. Still; I've never had good experiences with openSUSE (the decades ago I tried installations of it).

Hello DT. Love your videos.
I'm facing an issue with changing the default system font for non-Latin languages (i.e. Arabic). The font that came with the system is not readable. There is not a lot of sources on this topic. Even the Arch Wiki only give instructions on how to install Arabic fonts but not how to set the default ones. Some pages are pointing to editing the fontconfig file, but there is not clear explanation.
Would be glad if anyone can help with this.

Why does dual-booting on one drive/separate partitions cause problems? Im looking to try Linux again, I did ages ago, I dual booted on one drive and I DID indeed encounter problems....the GRUB bootloader menu became corrupted I believe, rendering BOTH my operating systems useless. Is what Im talking about the main problem with dual booting on one drive or are there other problems too?

Haha how you got both -Background- and -background- folders showing different set of images, This is The Linux Way: when we have no central authority controlling it and deciding, those things will definitely appear due to each project taking its own way of doing things, But this is also the main reason why I love Linux and giving its strength.

Going through all the standard apps gets less and less interesting over time. I was just curious about what gecko/SUSE is about, what makes it different, but the same routine over and over again showing video players and note taking apps is too much for me. Just some friendly but direct feedback.

If you enable opengl and hardware accelaration in kvm for vm then cinamon does not complain anymore about hardware acel. I have managed to do that only on laptop with amd apu, on my main pc with geforce it does not work.
But thanks for advice, I need that accel on vm, I'll try other de in vm.

Clementine is almost the Winamp of Linux - lightweight and low cpu usage but loads of features, one which MOST music players miss is the lack of randomising the playlist - (not shuffle mode). This means you won't hear the same song twice which is what shuffle will do. Not much a fan of Rythmbox.

About once a year I install (or try to install) OpenSUSE because it looks so interesting. Then I remember why I hate it. I've even managed to get it fully installed a time or two but it was a test of my troubleshooting skills rather than a practical OS. I still enjoyed the video though.

I have recently reinstalled tumbleweed on my dua disk laptop with the purpose of dual booting ubuntu for work. the two 500GB disk have been partiotioned in 700GB + 300GB btrfs disks using LVM and grub works fine. LVM is really nice in such cases
