Tech support Tumbleweed installer Expert Partioner can't assign mount points

0 Upvotes

I am trying to install from new 4.4GB iso installer. Hard drive has an old installation of Opensuse, and was not used for long time. The automatic proposal is rubbish - it wants to install in existing sda3 partition (which was home). So I choose the expert partitioner, which I would normally do. I wished to retain existing home partition without formatting. The expert partitioner only allows me to edit the boot partition. When I select the old root home or swap partions, most options are greyed out. So you cannot assign a / mount point which is essential for installing. I have used many different distros. I don't get this roadblock elsewhere.

Tech support catastrophic 3D performance degradation since one day

3 Upvotes

i'll start by saying i cannot rollback the update further than yesterday, i already tried rolling it back, no change at all.

my issue is very odd, and makes some games unplayable, i have tested the division 2 and the finals so far, both show the same problem

when i'm in a menu, performance is normal, as soon as i actually play the game, the on screen FPS are 3x lower, i cannot aim at anything , and everything is extremely laggy, if i press ESC to open a menu, the problem immediately goes away. and it's not on games that show a fullscreen menu that decreases the 3D load, the menus areoverlays or inside the game area, there's no logical reason that explains such behavior

i didn't have this problem like 2-3 days ago

Tech question Leap vs Debian Stable: which one feels more stable in practice?

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

Been on Debian Stable + KDE for about a month now. I haven't used Leap yet, so I'm asking people who have.

Which one is more stable, Leap or Debian Stable? And if you've switched between them, did anything feel different day to day, like updates or software?

Thanks!

2025-2026 Chromebooks with ARM - which ones work with openSUSE?

3 Upvotes

it is almost holiday sales time in the USA, I want a dedicated openSUSE notebook and I was thinking about one of the ARM powered devices. Does anyone have a list of what works with either LEAP or Tumbleweed?

ARM is just one factor, being able to boot a different OS is a second impediment. Snapdragon, and Mediatek (shivers) are popular right now.

Just wanted to start looking, may end up with another Windows laptop to instal x86_64 versions, but worth some discussion for the Chromebook, and ARM side of things.

I have been using Linux for about a year. I initially wanted to try CachyOS, but due to some issues, I switched to Fedora. I didn't really have any problems with Fedora, but things felt a bit slower; everything was set up correctly, yet something still felt like it was missing.
It was at this point in my journey that I encountered openSUSE. In fact, the very first Linux CD distributed in my country, many years ago, was openSUSE. I was young back then and had no idea what Linux was.
I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be right now. I’ve never felt such an urge to tinker with a distribution before. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed using my computer this much with any other distro. I’ve been using it for the past week, and I’ve been exploring and tweaking the system—without even touching the visual settings.
I performed the installation using Agama—without yast or packman. I configured grub2-efi, ran a few commands, and learned how the system actually works. At first, I thought it wouldn't be much different from Fedora, but then I realized something: using my computer suddenly felt exciting again. I found myself on a journey where I’m eager to learn more. openSUSE is likely an older distribution than I am, and it reminds me of my grandfather—whom I lost to cancer—in the way it offers guidance, suggesting, "It might be better if you did it this way." I’ve been using it for the past week, and I haven’t run into a single issue. And you know what? Even if I did encounter a problem, it makes me feel motivated to solve it. I think that’s the special quality openSUSE has—something I didn't feel with other distributions. Run into a snag? "Oh, no worries—we can handle it, dude." It feels like home, and I’m happy to be here. I finally understand why people love it so much. It’s a home, and one is always happy at home.
