Hands-On: openSUSE Linux on the Raspberry Pi 4 – ZDNet

In previous posts of this series about Linux on the Raspberry Pi 4, I have written about Ubuntu, Manjaro and of course the Raspberry Pi OS. This time I'm going to look at openSUSE, which has two variants – the more stable LEAP, and the more leading-edge Tumbleweed. I will be giving them both a try. Fair warning: openSUSE is one of my favorite Linux distributions, and it is the one that boots by default on my desktop system and all of my laptops, so I might be a bit biased. On the other hand, I have tried openSUSE before, on…

Ubuntu0 CommentsUbuntuRSS Feeds

You could either download the first version of Ubuntu Linux or get a CD of the release mailed to you for free. Steven Vaughan-Nichols/ZDNET2004 was already an eventful year for Linux.

The MX Linux project has rolled out a new major release, based on Debian 12, and is on its way to becoming our favorite distro. Around this time last year, MX Linux was new to us, as we said when we looked at version 21.2. Now at version 23, its developers describe it as a middleweight distro. Don't be misled, though: while it doesn't go out of its way to be stripped down or minimalist, it's as rich and feature-complete as any desktop distro out there.
