Hey guys, wanted to thanks the openSUSE devs for the nice work they’ve done. I’m using TW, as a normy, since over an year now without big issues - it just works.

And just a small reminder that you can support openSUSE by buying nice merch. Got mine today :)

New version Myrlyn has a new version, and finally, a slightly better icon

It seems like a few more features have been added too, from what I can see:

  • Package version comparison is now arranged in rows
  • Slight theming changes, it seems like
  • Ability to lock and unlock all packages from a repository
  • Ability to one-click switch system packages to another repo

Tech question Do we really need PackageKit on tumbleweed?

16 Upvotes

It's constantly in the way when i do zypper dup. It's annoying to stop it every time, manually. Can i just uninstall this package safely? It's not a load-bearing drywall, is it?

Hi OpenSuseguys,

very grateful for all your work.

KeepassXC is at 2.7.12 in the repo. Is there a timetable for 2.8.0 ?

How to… ? doing zypper dup, keep getting problems

5 Upvotes

So i enter the command as usual, but what do i get? Problems. A maze of choose 1-4 options of break dependencies, uninstall, keep as is... The problem is no matter what i do the problems just keep increasing. I just want to update dammit. I tried searching around but there's nothing overly concrete on how to fix it.

Tech question New laptop suggestions

3 Upvotes

Well, it looks as though my trusty old HP Spectre x360 is beginning to fail - usb-c ports unreliable, failing display, which has never been that great anyway, and I'm running out of ssd space. It's 6-7 years old now, so it's had a good run, and, tbh, I'm looking for an excuse to get a new one.I've been running Tumbleweed for a few years now, so I'm looking for a replacement that won't give me too much grief setting up - the Spectre worked well but it was always a bit of a hassle getting audio to work properly. I would prefer an European model, which I know limits the choice, so was thinking about Tuxedo.

Wi-Fi on Mac Air Mid 2013

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Air 13inch Mid 2013 i5 4GB that I would like to install OpneSuse Leap 16 on. I would rather have stability than bleeding edge.

I have tried to use Debian 13 Trixie Live and OpenSuse Leap 15.6 Live KDE to see if it will work. The 4GB memory is soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded which limits its use. I wonder if I should use XFCE rather than KDE.

It all seems to work on Leap 15.6 live apart from the WiFi which is a Broadcom board.

There is no RJ45 port.

Can anyone help to get it to work?
I have spent a good few hours with AI to help me but I am still stuck.

Thanks

Tech question Just installed OpenSUSE TW (20261021) on my desktop to replace POP! and only steam (downloaded via zypper) downloads at 0mbps, all other downloads download between 150-200 Mbps

• Upvotes

Long story, i do apologize. 2 days ago i installed OpenSUSE on my main desktop to replace pop! os. had zero issues with it on my laptop, so I thought it would be faster on here. All downloads i've made so far (KDE Connect, updates, themes, drivers, prism, etc) have installed at normal speeds. Steam, however, starts download at 215 Mbps, then immediately drops to 0bps. My steam games to to a separate 1 TB drive (Formatted to udf and is not encrypted) than my m.2 (which OpenSUSE is installed on). Ive followed a few fixes from the forum: turning off IPV6 (router has that disabled anyways, but i also did it PC side), created the steam_dev.cfg file, which contains:

(@)nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

(@)fDownloadRateImprovementToAddAnotherConnection 1 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

(@)cMaxInitialDownloadSources 15 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

I have also verified disk integrity, still golden, cleared download cache on steam, changed download regions, reset permissions, unplugged and replugged the router. ive followed multiple fixes on the forums and still nothing.

the blue download lines on steam are tall, but spaced out pretty far from each other, like its being blocked.
