Suse Tumbleweed Installation

Suse Tumbleweed Installation

I am going to delete the entire system with one stroke. It took over 5 partitions and bundled it to a butter Btrfs file System of 40GB, which was not to my liking.

 I need to see and access any data in my /home folder, which I cannot. 

Moment I download Fedora Official, I am going to remove it and install and see how Fedora does on my NUC.

It is 4.6GB Iso and has over 2000 packages.

Nothing but nostalgia of SuSe time with SuSe Studio  in 32 bit times.

Graphical Installer is intuitive.

I decided to go for Gnome Desktop which I am comfortable with.

It is an Iso for gamers.

Installation is slow.

Network was automatically detected but no password request. Probably at boot time.

EFI supported.

Did not have to configure SWAP.

I hope it would detect the NTFS partition.

I did a naughty thing change Ext4 to xfs partition type.

Which might upset my entire Partition Table.

Each package take about 3.6MB.

I am wondering whether I should try Fedora since Rocky Linux was a disaster.

Not a bad experience at all.

The Plymouth booting was accurately configured.

First thing is AbiWord installation.

I had to query but installation is smooth.

LibbreOffice is 25.2. 

I may delete it later if I run short of application space.

I deleted LibreOffice it to save space.

Try next tux racer which takes a lot of memory space.

 I could not it said space not enough.

It took about 8GB space for install and both WiFi Configuration and detecting NTFS file system were smooth.

Basically no complaints under Gnome.

Would have been different under KDE.

But installation and adding new applications were painfully SLOW.

No wonder I left SuSe and Redhat long time ago.

Only a PLUS if configuration feature is solid.

Even though, I tried XFS file system it had stuck to butter or Btrfs file system by default.
