SUSE was acquired by novell, some technology company
they start doing deals with microsoft and some patents and shit
MS starts dickwaving about how they technically have intellectual property rights over the entirety of linux from the deal
everyone goes FUCKING NUTS (this was before ubuntu became really big mind you)
everyone skiddadles over to debian and RHEL
legal shit
microsoft gets shat on in tha court of aw
they fuck off and die but suse then loses a ton of relevance

folks like richard stallman fucking hate SUSE because of this since it had affiliations with MS a decade ago

which is a damn shame because opensuse is really really good

houses probably the largest software repository on the internet, at least for lunix distros, dat KDE setup, dat professional-level support, dat you-can-make-anything-of-it-ism, dat rolling release option, dat fucking YaST

YaST is beautiful and glorious, it's like the windows control panel except actually good and used for more than a couple functions (uninstalling software leeeel)

basically the entire system can be controlled from there, it has its own package manager updater bootloader installer and you can configure things that normally you have to sudo nano (filename) to mess around with which was normally dangerous as hell

lol my cpu is at 100% permanently because of that glorious KDE plasma rice

go big or goo home i dont give a FUCK if i fry my cpu ill just order up a new one on amazon lol c2ds are soo cheap

this is a REALLy bad idea but idc

so im trying out konqueror and it fucking sucks

isnt everyone on this browsers dick for being super webkitty or something?

god fucking damn this theme is turning me into an aesthetic slut



it's certainly not as smooth as slick oil but holy fuuuck everything about this theme is GORGEOUS

i think ill go and hijack an IBM supercomputer so i can run this delicious KDE smoothly because my boner is in maximum overdrive

so why the fuck do people use ubuntu over this again

1. better aesthetics
   
2. better package managment (YaST Software Managment is easily the best GUI package manager out there, makes synaptic shit its self and whatever the fuck broken shit that comes with Fedora cry)
   
3. yast
   
4. yast
   
5. fucking YAST
   
6. enterprise quality, no fancy gimmicky shit like you see on ubuntu (compiz LOL)
   
7. lets you choose multiple DEs off the default install (or none if you roll that way)
   
8. no advertising/spyware like ubuntu (since it's professionally backed they can make money through methods that don't require ruining the user experience)
   
9. probably has the single largest software repository for any lunix distro
   
10. glorious RPM
    
11. german engineered
    
12. probably the best hardware support for any distro out there
    
13. has a rolling release option, which completely invalidates any reason to use fedora
    
14. extensible
    
15. very well documented
    
16. glorious btrfs available
    
17. sponsored by freedom fighters AMD
    
18. netinstall available if you roll that way; again, packaged in the default ISO instead of having to download some other shit
    

amsk8r approves

though i'm still not really sure what the heck this is for

i'm toying around with konqueror and it's actually pretty neato once you start digging into it, its even got a hint mode like vimperator/vimium

"konqueror" i know that name but i never understood it

The name "Konqueror" is a reference to the two primary competitors at the time of the browser's first release: "first comes the Navigator, then Explorer, and then the Konqueror". It also follows the KDE naming convention: the names of most KDE programs begin with the letter K.[5]

konqueror is really famous for being i think the foundation of webkit or some shit like that. it was really big back in 2004 since it was fast as FUCK and it was sort of the shining diamond back in the glorious KDE3 days, like YaST is to opensuse

it's not really that big anymore since KDE added the dolphin file manager and most KDE users use firefox for that beautiful qt integration but some people still toy around wtih it

i also like konqueror for properly following the fucking KDE naming convention, theres a shitload of applications with it called something like "kSnapshot" which is really unoriginal

why not "Kapture"? i came up with that in like two seconds it's not hard you know
