openSUSE Tumbleweed Reviews & Product Details

Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version. You could verify the file in the process of downloading. For example a checksum (SHA256) will be used automatically if you choose Metalink in the field above and use the add-on DownThemAll! in Firefox.

"openSUSE Tumbleweed review by Aditya"

4.5/5

What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

openSUSE is among the easiest linux distribution for new users. However, openSUSE does not focus on absolute ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Fedora is better than OpenSUSE in terms of Repository support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is openSUSE Tumbleweed solving and how is that benefiting you?

penSuSE keeps up with the cutting edge of software, providing multiple versions and paths for whether or not you want reasonably stable or absolute bleeding edge. It's pretty easy to get and build software on the platform, and works well as a desktop O/S for a laptop. It also runs well on older hardware that may not be up to the challenge of more demanding operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Linux Distro for open source projects"

4/5

What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

One of the main advantages is that it has installed different system configuration tools, among which we can highlight YAST (Yet another Setup Tool).

From this tool, you can manage repositories and install packages, define kernel parameters, configure the boot loader, configure the network and see complete information about your hardware. Everything the average / advanced user is going to need.

Furthermore, YAST is available both graphically, and via terminal, so if you need to use it but you don't have a graphical interface, you have to launch the "Yast" command and configure your system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

During the installation or update process, some compatibility conflicts may arise with the packages you already have installed in the operating system, which would imply reconfiguring or changing the repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering openSUSE Tumbleweed:

If you are looking for a stable and updated operating system with the latest kernel version, I recommend that you give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is openSUSE Tumbleweed solving and how is that benefiting you?

Opensuse Tumbleweed is a rolling release version with a lot of stability in its packages, which makes it easy to install and update applications through YAST.

The advantages of using an operating system such as OpenSuse are derived from the same benefits that any other open-source operating system can offer by offering the freedom and flexibility when working with packages and libraries that we can use for free in our projects.

"OpenSUSE Tumbleweed"

4.5/5

What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Open SUSE Tumbleweed is a great Linux distro! It is free even though most are. Not only is it built greatly, but it has many options and it is top-tier. Especially if you're new to the system, it's the easiest for people who are just starting to learn as it is very helpful. It doesn't make things more complicated than it has to be and has graphical tools that will configure setting systems like yast. This is a very user-friendly application and after a little bit of playing around with it you will understand it in no time. If you have a training and development manager with some experience with it, they should be able to put together a how-to and you'll have no problem navigating.
