Steven Rosenberg<p>The main attraction of OpenSUSE Aeon is the extent of the automatic updates:</p><p>Base system, Flatpaks and Distroboxes</p><p>Plus no version upgrades</p><p>Quite different from the way Fedora Atomic handles it. </p><p><a href="https://ruby.social/tags/OpenSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSUSE</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Aeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aeon</span></a></p>
Steven Rosenberg<p>I'm trying to transition my personal hardware away from day-job work, but I wanted to see how OpenSUSE Aeon responded to my usual workload: The easy bits are gVim and gThumb. The hard ones are opening a lot of Google Chrome windows and tabs and loading a bunch of JS-heavy pages while working on 12 WordPress dashboards.</p><p>Everything seemed to work out well.</p><p>The base system updates happened when I booted in the morning. I didn't even notice.</p><p>There were no Flatpak updates.</p><p><a href="https://ruby.social/tags/OpenSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSUSE</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Aeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aeon</span></a></p>
Steven Rosenberg<p>This is the first time I have run any version of OpenSUSE on bare metal. </p><p>I've done quite a few in VMs, but never on a daily driver before.</p><p>Things that should be in an atomic/immutable distro are here, and I wanted to see how well it all works (automatic updates for base system, Flatpak and Distrobox, Tumbleweed-style rolling release, btrfs ... and those Distroboxes created with a Tumbleweed base)</p><p><a href="https://ruby.social/tags/OpenSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSUSE</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Aeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aeon</span></a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Distrobox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Distrobox</span></a></p>
Steven Rosenberg<p>I was moving the config files in ~/.var/app over to my new OpenSUSE Aeon install, and the Firefox files were about 500MB, while Chrome's were 5GB. I didn't move Chrome's over.

i've been testing aeon for a few days now and i really like it. it comes pretty empty by default, and it's quite easy to adjust it for my use case.

that, and the fact that it comes with full disk encryption (as gnome os already does) have made me like it a lot :3

La propuesta de eliminar los paquetes de 32-bit de #Fedora ha sido rechazada. Una pena, pero es lo que hay cuando la mayoría de la gente usa principalmente monstruosidades como Workstation y los spins mutables.

Antes de volver a Workstation, prefiero darle una oportunidad a #LinuxMint o a otro sistema operativo mutable bien diseñado de verdad, aunque la primera oportunidad se la daría a #Aeon Desktop.
