Thank you so much for your insightful comment! It's great to see SCX schedulers gaining traction across Linux distros. I didn’t realize CachyOS played such a pioneering role-very cool to learn! Kernel 6.12 adoption is definitely exciting, and I agree, the rapid development holds a lot of promise for future optimizations. Thanks again for sharing this valuable info!

@@TheLinuxLighthouse CachyOS and openSuse works together sometimes to provide better tools. CachyOS team doesn't afraid of innovations so they provide a lot of fresh air into the community, I have some information that Tumbleweed will get some of these improvements thanks to their teams cooperation.

That's awesome to hear! Collaboration like this is what makes the Linux community so amazing. It's exciting to know Tumbleweed could benefit from CachyOS innovations-can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks for sharing this great news!

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm really glad you found the video clear and helpful. Your feedback means a lot and keeps me motivated to create more content like this. If there's anything specific you'd like to see in future videos, feel free to let me know! 🚀

You are absolutely right. The default editor on openSUSE is nano, unless you change it. If you're not sure what you're doing, it's definitely best to stick with visudo. I didn’t use visudo because it’s not always obvious where the sudoers file is located. Additionally, on MicroOS, there are two files that affect sudo, so I needed to do it this way to help beginners understand what’s happening behind the scenes.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to me that you find my channel valuable for learning Linux. Your support motivates me to keep creating more content. About the SCX schedulers in Tumbleweed: That's an excellent topic, I’m researching and testing it to ensure I can provide a detailed and accurate video. Stay tuned-it's definitely on my to-do list. If you have any specific aspects of SCX schedulers you'd like me to cover, feel free to let me know! Thanks again for your feedback and support! 😊

@ Maybe specific use of scx schedulers + some details about custom flags in /etc/default/scx can be a good topic? I'm currently using bpfland with -k flag but I've tested only bpfland and lavd schedulers.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll dive into SCX schedulers, including custom flags in /etc/default/scx, and explore bpfland with the -k flag alongside lavd. This will definitely make for a detailed and practical video. Stay tuned, and thanks again for your input! 😊

Thanks for your comment! I chose openSUSE because it offers unique features that align with my needs and goals. For example: 1- Stability and Flexibility: With openSUSE Leap, I get a rock-solid and enterprise-ready distribution, while Tumbleweed provides a cutting-edge rolling release. This versatility is unmatched! 2- YaST: The YaST control center is a fantastic tool for system administration, making complex tasks easy and efficient. 3- openSUSE MicroOS: Its immutable design is ideal for containers, edge devices, and microservices, which ties into many of my use cases. 4- Btrfs by Default: openSUSE offers Btrfs as the default filesystem for the root partition, which provides advanced features like snapshots, compression, and self-healing. Combined with YaST and snapper, it’s incredibly user-friendly and powerful for managing system changes. Few other distros integrate Btrfs as seamlessly! Fedora is also an excellent distribution, but openSUSE fits better with my workflow and focus areas like system administration and learning Rust. Both have their strengths-it really depends on what you're looking for in a Linux distro! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Why do you ask? Are you a Fedora user, or is there something specific you’re curious about when comparing openSUSE and Fedora? 😊

maybe due to the two release models are not the same? Leap could be compared to Debian stable or RHEL even Ubuntu LTS. Fedora is different whole of wax.

🙏🙏

Thank You Buddy, I really appreciate your support. Thank You again 🙏

Hi, great question! 😊 The RAM usage you're noticing is primarily due to differences in how operating systems like OpenIndiana (based on Illumos) and Linux manage memory. OpenIndiana is optimized for reliability and performance in enterprise environments, which means it may use more RAM for caching and other system services compared to Linux. Additionally, OpenIndiana comes with some unique features like ZFS for file systems, which can also contribute to higher memory usage. The MATE desktop itself isn't necessarily using more RAM-it's just the operating system's underlying architecture and resource management that differ.

Good afternoon! 😊 Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out with your question. It sounds like the issue might be related to missing or incorrect configuration for Snapper. When you delete subvolumes or disable automatic snapshot creation, Snapper can sometimes lose track of its configuration. To fix this, you’ll need to recreate or adjust the Snapper configuration file for the specific subvolume you want to manage. Use the following command to create a Snapper config for root: $ sudo snapper -c root create-config / Ensure that the configuration directory exists ls /etc/snapper/configs/ Thank you again for your support and for bringing this up-it’s a great opportunity to learn and share!

@TheLinuxLighthouse Thanks for the answer. Everything worked, but now there is a problem because the control system does not have a menu to select the image system.

You’re very welcome! 😊 I’m glad the snapshots are working now. Regarding the missing menu to select snapshots during boot, this usually happens if the GRUB bootloader isn’t properly configured to recognize Btrfs snapshots. Make sure you have the grub2-snapper-plugin package installed: $ sudo zypper install grub2-snapper-plugin Update the GRUB configuration to include the Snapper boot options: $ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Reboot your system, and check the GRUB menu If the issue persists or you have more details, feel free to share, and I’ll do my best to assist further. Thanks again for your patience and for being a part of the community! 😊

@TheLinuxLighthouse Good day, unfortunately it didn't help, the plugin was already installed, updating the bootloader didn't help either, when installing the system I disabled automatic snapshot creation, maybe it affected. I made disk partitioning according to your video, you also deleted subdirectories and left only , srv, tmp. Thank you for the cool lessons.

could you please join the discord server, and share your issue with screenshots, we will be more able to help you with your issue.

Hey mate! 😊 Yes, You're right, on openSUSE MicroOS, SELinux is the default security framework and the only framework, no AppArmor, If you want more control over which framework you want to use, go with Tumbleweed, during the installation you can choose which will be the default: SELinux or AppArmor. If you’re exploring MicroOS, feel free to ask any questions-I’d be happy to help!

Thank you so much for the support! 😊 I'm thrilled you’re enjoying the videos. As for Dart scripting, it’s an interesting idea! Personally, if I were scripting on Linux, I’d go with Python or Bash. For compiled languages, Rust is my top choice-Dart is a compiled language too, so it doesn’t quite fit my Linux scripting style. But I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future content!

@TheLinuxLighthouse actually dart runs as JIT or AOT. So you can use it for scripting and it can run near instantly. But either way , thanks for the great videos.

Great point about Dart's versatility with JIT and AOT! 😊 But here’s a fun fact: Rust is often faster because it compiles directly to machine code with zero-cost abstractions, while Dart’s JIT adds a bit of overhead. Plus, Rust’s memory safety without a garbage collector makes it a powerhouse for performance-critical tasks. Thanks again for the support!

Thank you! 😊 So glad to have you along for the ride into the modern Linux era. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to explore, feel free to share. Happy hacking! 🚀🐧

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I appreciate you pointing out the security aspect and the comparison between RHEL and openSUSE. You’re absolutely right that Python 3.6 has been end-of-life for a while, and using an outdated version could raise potential security concerns. However, with openSUSE Leap, the dependency on Python 3.6 is generally limited to certain packages that haven’t yet transitioned to newer Python versions. It's worth noting that openSUSE also ships with Python 3.11, as you mentioned, and developers are actively working to migrate dependencies to newer, supported versions. In practical terms, openSUSE is known for its focus on security. Regular updates, AppArmor profiles, secure defaults, and timely patches help mitigate risks. However, it's always a good idea to check which Python version is being used for critical applications and to install updates as they become available. Thanks again for your comment-it highlights an important point about maintaining a secure environment! 😊

You're very welcome! 😊 I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel and finding value in the content about openSUSE.

Thank you so much for watching. MicroOS is an immutable system and can be installed with no desktop. Kalpa is MicroOS with KDE Desktop, While Aeon is MicroOS with Gnome Desktop. All are based on openSUSE Tumbleweed. please check the following videos for more information: th-cam.com/video/tLxjp3hYWwU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/3ev4GX9v1Yg/w-d-xo.html

Thanks so much! You’re absolutely right-I didn’t include Argon and Krypton in this video. From what I understand, they use the KDE unstable repository, which means they’re not quite mature yet and still need more testing. Also, Argon is essentially openSUSE Leap with extra repositories added, while Krypton is openSUSE Tumbleweed with extra repositories added. Since this video focuses on final releases, I decided to leave them out for now. I’ll definitely consider covering them in a future video as they develop further. Thanks again for your feedback and for watching!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm thrilled to hear that you found this video helpful. Comments like yours keep me motivated to create more content. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see next, feel free to let me know. Thanks again for watching!

@@TheLinuxLighthouse Your uploads are very useful. My background is Mathematics so I find some of your technical input somewhat of a challenge regarding the sysadmin aspects. However, it was a pleasant surprise for me to learn a lot more about Linux and SUSE/openSUSE on this channel. I hope that more people get to view your uploads as there is something useful for everyone here.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm really glad to hear that you're finding the videos useful, especially with your background in Mathematics. It's fantastic that you're exploring Linux and SUSE/openSUSE through the channel-it's a testament to your curiosity and willingness to learn! If there's ever a specific topic you'd like me to explain in more detail or simplify, just let me know. Your support and kind words truly mean a lot, and I hope the channel continues to provide value for you and others. 😊

Totally agree-Rust tools are such a game-changer! 🚀 I'm glad the video inspired you to try Bottom (btm); I’m sure you’ll love it! 😄 Thanks for mentioning Eza! You're absolutely right-it’s a fantastic replacement for ls. I’ll definitely consider adding it to a future video. Appreciate the tip and your detailed comment-it’s great to connect with fellow Tumbleweed and Rust enthusiasts! 🐧💻

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm really glad you find my tutorials helpful and that they inspired you to use openSUSE. 😊 Regarding your question: the need for two separate partitions (/boot/efi and /boot) depends on how openSUSE handles booting and its default setup. 1- /boot/efi: This is the EFI System Partition (ESP), formatted as VFAT. It stores the bootloader files (like GRUB) and is required for UEFI systems. It’s where the firmware looks for bootloader binaries. 2- /boot (BTRFS): This partition holds additional bootloader-related files, such as GRUB configurations, kernel images, and initramfs. While technically it’s possible to combine the content of /boot with the root filesystem (and often /boot/efi is sufficient for bootloader purposes), having a separate /boot on BTRFS provides some advantages: - Compatibility with snapshots: openSUSE’s BTRFS-based root filesystem leverages Snapper for system snapshots. By separating /boot, it helps manage kernel and GRUB updates more robustly and avoids potential conflicts with snapshots. - Stability during recovery: In some cases, updates or recovery scenarios are easier when /boot is on a standalone partition. While /boot/efi alone can work in simpler setups, openSUSE’s approach with a dedicated BTRFS /boot aligns with its focus on stability and advanced features. I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have more questions. 😊

@@TheLinuxLighthouse Ok. Now it make sense for me. But I suppose this layout for the boot partitions makes sense using BTRFS. Using ext4 is enough to have only /boot/efi, and in rest swap, / , /home and so on? There is no need for mounting /boot partition separate for ext4 partition scheme? I never used BTRS, I try to get some knowledge. I know you have another 2 dedicated BTRFS videos which I intend to follow. I am sure I'll get more knowledge there :). Thank you also for your response!

You're very welcome, and thank you for engaging with my content! 😊 I'm glad my response helped clarify things for you. You're absolutely right-using BTRFS brings unique considerations, and it’s great to hear that you're planning to check out my BTRFS videos! I’m sure you’ll find them helpful as you explore its features. To address your follow-up question: - If you’re using ext4 instead of BTRFS, having a separate /boot partition is usually unnecessary in most cases unless you have specific needs (e.g., older hardware, large kernels, or a multiboot setup). A single / partition for the system is often sufficient, alongside /home, swap, etc. - The /boot/efi partition, however, is only required if your system uses UEFI with Secure Boot enabled. This partition stores the bootloader files that the UEFI firmware reads at startup. - If you're using the legacy BIOS mode (or your system doesn't support UEFI), there's no need for a /boot/efi partition at all. The bootloader would be installed directly to the Master Boot Record (MBR) or the root filesystem. I hope this clears things up! Feel free to reach out if you have more questions as you dive deeper into openSUSE and BTRFS. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments and support. 😊

You're welcome! 😊 I'm so glad you discovered Atuin and that it's working great for you in Zsh! It’s such a game-changer, right? If you explore any cool tips or tricks with it, feel free to share-I’d love to hear about them. Thanks for watching and for the awesome feedback! 🚀🐧

Thank You Fabrizio, I really appreciate it 🙏. Wish you a healthy, long, prosperous life.

Hi @Ghost_Warrior-1, thanks for the kind words and for sharing your experience! I totally get where you're coming from-Ubuntu is great, but exploring other distros like openSUSE Tumbleweed can really open up new possibilities, especially for programming. It’s awesome to hear that Tumbleweed is working so well as your daily driver; it's indeed a solid choice for advanced users. 😊 Don’t worry at all about your English-you're doing great! After all, English is just a tool to communicate, not a measure of someone's knowledge or skill. It’s not my first language either, and I’m always learning, just like you. We’re all here to learn and grow together, and I learn so much from all of you as well. Thanks again for your support, and happy Linux exploring! 🚀

It's not a new video 😁, I received advice in the comments to cut the long videos to make it easy for those who are looking for specific subjects, this one here is a part of a longer video. Mostly i focus on Leap for stability, but I'm planning to make exclusive videos on Tumbleweed soon. Stay tuned, cheers 🥂

Glad you liked that approach-it's all about finding what works best for you! 😎. Unless you are in an enterprise environment and you have to do things in a certain way in order to not lose the support.

Thanks for sharing! It’s great to see Fedora embracing Btrfs with their SIG, though I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of how they’ve implemented it-especially in the installer and their overall approach. In my opinion, when it comes to Btrfs, openSUSE is unmatched. The integration and tools like Snapper really take it to another level! 😊 Curious to see how Fedora evolves with it, though!

​@@TheLinuxLighthouse To me It sounded like the funeral march of bfcache, even though I wish I was wrong.

Ah, that’s an interesting perspective! I hadn’t thought about how this shift might affect bcache. Let’s hope they find a way to balance both or maybe even improve the ecosystem as a whole. Change always comes with trade-offs, but I guess time will tell how it pans out. Appreciate your insight-definitely something to keep an eye on!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you find these short videos helpful and a good reminder. Your feedback means a lot and motivates me to keep creating more useful content. Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see next!

Hi There, please check my video th-cam.com/video/5wnCOlb_6Ws/w-d-xo.html, it is all about btrfs and snapper.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting my videos! 😊 I really appreciate your feedback-it’s a fantastic idea to create smaller, topic-specific videos from the larger ones. That way, viewers can easily find exactly what they need without having to go through the entire video. I’ll definitely keep this suggestion in mind for future content, and I might even start by breaking this video into sections as you mentioned. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts-it really helps me improve the channel! 🙌

@TheLinuxLighthouse yeah exactly. Like the zypper verify command I have never heard of and I didn't expect to find it in the video. So something like " 5 lesser known zypper commands " or something would be great.

That’s an awesome idea! 🙌 I love the suggestion of doing a focused video like '5 Lesser-Known Zypper Commands.' It’s true that some of these gems can get buried in longer videos, so creating standalone content for them would make them much easier to discover. Thanks for pointing that out-I'll add it to my content plan and get started on it soon. Appreciate your input, and I’m glad you found the zypper verify command useful!

That’s awesome to hear! Aeon is definitely a great choice for non-developers who value reliability and minimalism. It’s designed to just work, which makes it perfect for everyday use. Glad to know it’s been serving you well for a long time-thanks for sharing your experience and for watching the video!

Hey! I tried the Leap Micro 6.1 self-install image, but unfortunately, it didn’t boot after installation. I’m looking into what might have gone wrong. Have you had better luck with it? Any tips would be super helpful!🙏🏼

Thank You, I appreciate it🙏🏼. I'm checking it right now.😁

That's a great question! Yes, it's been announced that Leap 16 will likely be the last release under the 'Leap' name as openSUSE transitions to a unified approach, closely aligned with SUSE Linux Enterprise. The community is exploring new directions, and while Leap may be renamed or discontinued, its core mission of providing a stable, enterprise-grade experience will continue. Stay tuned for more updates as plans evolve!

To be honest, I am worried too after Centos saga 😅 so let's get by for next 4 years....maybe

I hear you! The CentOS situation left a lot of us feeling uneasy, but the good news is that openSUSE has been really open about their plans. Leap 16 is set to be a solid option for the next 4 years, so there's plenty of time to see how things evolve. Plus, with the strong connection to SUSE Linux Enterprise, I’m optimistic that openSUSE will keep delivering a great experience. Let’s take it one step at a time, we’re all in this together! 😁

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad the tutorials have been helpful to you during your transition to openSUSE. It's always tough when a system goes down, but I'm happy you found a solution and that the content here could make the journey a bit smoother. If you have any questions or need help with anything as you explore openSUSE or SUSE Linux, don’t hesitate to reach out. Welcome to the *SUSE community, and happy computing!

Thank you for your comment! I’m curious-what do you mean by Laoganma installer? I’d love to know more about what you’re referring to!

Thank you! I’m really glad you found the video informative. Agama is indeed a fascinating development for openSUSE, and it’s exciting to see how it’s shaping the installation process.

Thank you for the suggestion! Combining PAM with encrypted SSH keys and the SSH agent is an excellent idea and definitely worth exploring in a future video. I appreciate your input and support!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊

Great question! Kalpa is indeed very up-to-date, as it’s built on the same rolling foundation as Tumbleweed. However, there are subtle differences in how updates are handled, which I’ll be exploring in detail soon. I’m currently preparing a video to explain the relationships between all openSUSE spins-Tumbleweed, Leap, Aeon, Kalpa, and more. It will cover update frequency, schedules, and where each fits in the openSUSE ecosystem. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
