Coming from Fedora/Cinnamon, I went with Tumbleweed/Plasma. As dumb as it sounds, checking out those âX things to do after installing openSUSE Tumbleweedâ articles really helps get the ball rolling with adding the Packman repo, using opi for codecs, installing MS Fonts for compatibility, and other basic quality-of-life things like that. YaST does a lot of heavy lifting and hand holding, which can be good or bad depending on your Linux journey, experience, and/or philosophy - but it is very convenient. Honestly, like with anything Linux, you just kind of adjust til you find things you donât like - which, to be honest, my main list of things is less with openSUSE itself and more with KDE Plasma.
I guess thatâs a long way to say, Iâve been fine and havenât missed Fedora.
Iâm probably going to be switching from fedora too, what were your issues with KDE plasma?
Nothing broken or nonfunctional or anything. Iâve just been more of a fan of Cinnamon (and Xfce before that). I hadnât tried Plasma in any real capacity in years, so figured Iâd see where itâs at now; itâs fine. So theyâre more complaints than issues - âold man yells at cloudâ-type stuff because I have to figure out everything again, which is frustrating when you have a workflow.
