Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.
  • I really enjoy Tumbleweed. I've been using it for about 18 months now without issue. One thing to note though is that TW only packages production release Nvidia drivers. This means you will not have the 555 or 560 drivers that make Wayland usable by default. You can always install the latest drivers with the run file provided by Nvidia. Some people also use the CUDA repo to get the newer drivers. However, I'd think both of these options may be the type of tinkering you are trying to avoid.

    Overall I think TW is a great distro but it may be a bit more setup for Nvidia gaming on Wayland than you are looking for. If you're down with doing a little tinkering or gaming on X give it a shot. You can always roll back if something gets messed up.

  • What's your favourite smartphone manufacturer and/or favourite smartphone?
  • I really liked sony back when they made the compact series. ZX1 compact was my favorite smartphone but sadly it stopped working on my carrier. Now I'm using a galaxy zflip. The size when folded feels nice in my pocket. Closest thing I could find to a "small" full featured android.

  • What should I bring to a beach vacation?
    • beer (cheaper away from the beach)
    • hat for shade
    • fishing pole if you like fishing
    • cheap old phone if you have one, can swap your sim card to it. Keeps sand and water away from nice newer phone
  • does anyone use a modern screen-foldable phone as their regular phone?
  • The 6 is $1100, so free for me with trade in. I think the flip 3 was $999 on release but I did the $999 off deal by trading in a Galaxy s10e.

    I guess you could say the zflip has a front facing speaker if you open it halfway haha. In the L shaped position the speaker will face you.

  • does anyone use a modern screen-foldable phone as their regular phone?
  • I've been using the Samsung zflip 3 since release without issues. I like that it does not take up much pocket space. I've always liked smaller phones like the Xperia Xz1 compact, so the unfolded screen is a bit bigger than I'd like. Sadly there are not many options for small android phones anymore.

    I've pre-ordered the zflip6 through att since they are offering a $1100 trade in value for the 3. Looks like it'll have a bit better battery, camera, and a dust protection rating.

  • Why openSUSE?
  • I've been using oS:TW for over a year now. It's extremely stable for a rolling release distro. Plus if something does break, snapper rollbacks from the grub menu are set up by default. I've only had rollback once though due to a fucky Nvidia update.
