What's the Difference between openSUSE and OpenMandriva

Here's a comparison between openSUSE and OpenMandriva (continuing our comparison involving Mageia) the two European computer operating systems from our Free Libre Open Source Software community. The most obvious similarity from both is their name, which includes the word OPEN, which comes particularly from the Open Source Movement. In this article we will see several interesting stuffs from both around their architectures, distributions, control center, etc. so we know about their YaST and OMCC, respectively. If you want to know more similarities and differences of these two OSes, this article is for you. To make it easier to read, OS below is for openSUSE while OM is for OpenMandriva. Let's go!

Setup GTK4 Development Tools on Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE

Continuing the GTK3 setup, now I present a simple guide to setup GTK4 software development tools with screenshots included the instructions for Fedora and openSUSE operating systems. With this, you can start making desktop applications in C language with the latest version of this infamous widget toolkit that built GNOME. I selected Geany as the code writing tool here. Now rest easy and happy hacking!

Installing openSUSE Leap 15

This is my experience on installing openSUSE, the green chameleon operating system, Leap Edition version 15.2 to my computer. It is a family of GNU/Linux hence a distant sibling to Ubuntu with a distinct feature called YaST, the green tapir control panel, on top of its RPM software package basis. I installed it on a virtual machine in normal method as I used on Ubuntu. However, this can be used for actual installation to the real hardware directly including in dualboot mode. Thus, I share this with you by wishing it to be useful. Let's go!

Repology.org - A Package Search Engine for All GNU/Linux Users

Do you know Repology.org? It is a brilliant package search engine for all GNU/Linux distros. For us, we can find out software packages --in binary and source forms-- across various distros' repositories, even those which do not have package search facilities, and then quickly compare package version with versions available in another distros. In short, we using Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and whatever distros can search for packages centrally here. For individual software developers, Repology is useful to discover which distros have not yet packaged your software, and to contact the maintainers quickly. For distro maintainers, of course it's useful to compare your repository against another distros' repositories. Repology can generate informative badge of package availability (see examples below) we can display onto any website that accept HTML code. This overview covers what Repology is with examples and how to use it for users across GNU/Linux distros in easy ways. I didn't find any other source on the net that covers it yet so I decided to write this article. I hope this helps you a lot in finding packages and researching more about GNU/Linux. Enjoy!

GNOME 3.34: Between Fedora Rawhide and openSUSE GNOME:Next

(GNOME:Next LiveCD running Thessaloniki lighter, faster, and more complete)

When I was writing about GNOME 3.34 yesterday, I only tested it on Fedora Rawhide, and I forgot that there is openSUSE special rolling edition. It is called openSUSE GNOME:Next and the ISO Image is available to run it as LiveCD. To date GNOME:Next includes 3.34 already and when I test it now, I'm impressed, I like GNOME 3.34 on openSUSE rather than on Fedora Rawhide! It's already fast on Fedora but it's faster and lighter on openSUSE. More than that, this openSUSE special edition includes built-in more GNOME Apps than Fedora's, like, Boxes, Buider, Fractal, Fragment, and more. It's more GNOMEish than Fedora! Now let's see it.

Making openSUSE Multibootable USB from Ubuntu and Install It

(Bootloader of the USB stick with multiple OSes including openSUSE, the installation process, and openSUSE installed successfully thanks to Aguslr's MBUSB tool)

Since long ago I could not make openSUSE multibootable pendrive except in single boot mode. I could not use MultiSystem nor Sundar's MultiBootUSB nor even GLIM. What's more, I could not find any easy tutorial on the net talking about making it. Fortunately, and good news for us, recently I found Aguslr's Multiboot USB (MBUSB) that is able to create it. I have tested it and as I reported few days ago I finished the installation just as perfect as other distros I had with MultiSystem. Now it's my turn to explain how I did that in 4 steps: first, create a Multiboot USB pendrive; second, copy the ISO file to USB stick; third, boot your computer to USB; and fourth, install openSUSE with it. This USB setup can accept other distros to be bootable along with openSUSE. Enjoy!

Making GNU/Linux Multiboot USB with The Awesome Aguslr's Tool

(Aguslr's Multiboot USB: the best GNU/Linux multiboot maker so far for me)

Just like previously I stated, after MultiSystem, Sundar's MultiBootUSB, and Thias' GLIM, finally I found Aguslr's Multiboot USB tool to create perfect multiboot OS pendrive that supports great number of GNU/Linux distros including openSUSE, CentOS, and Deepin. More than that, it also supports Android-x86 and even BSD family. Awesome, right? However, the setup of this tool is honestly difficult especially for us who are not familiar with command lines. But I present you here faster and easier setup with screenshots and example. Enjoy!

Finally, I Can Make Multiboot USB of openSUSE from Ubuntu

(Multiboot USB website, list of supported distros, and openSUSE working after USB installation)

As you may know, my multiboot making tools were MultiSystem (since 2015), then Sundar's MultiBootUSB (2018), and recently GLIM (2019), but they all cannot work for openSUSE. Thanks to Aguslr, his program Multiboot USB (not to be confused with MultiBootUSB above) solved this problem for me! This means up to today I never managed to make openSUSE multiboot in a USB while I always managed to make other GNU/Linux distros work successfully such as Ubuntu family, Mint, Trisquel, Debian Regular, Elementary, even Fedora. In this article, I just report my success in making openSUSE Leap 15.1 multibootable USB and then installing it on a laptop. However, this article is just my report and I planned to publish tutorial on this Aguslr's Multiboot USB as soon as possible. Anyway, go ahead and happy working!

How To Write openSUSE Image to USB Drive in Ubuntu

We can make bootable USB drive for openSUSE in several ways. In openSUSE itself, there is a graphical program named SUSE Image Writer available for this case. In Ubuntu, there is no SUSE Image Writer available. But we can use available GNU dd command to do the same job. To locate exactly the USB device we can use lsblk and blkid tools. To show dd output in a (almost) real time way we can use pkill tool. Note: using dd will erase all the data inside the USB drive, so please make backup first. Here the procedures provided step by step.

20 years of SUSE [Infographic]

Dating all the way back to 1992, SUSE shipped the first SUSE Linux distribution in 1994. SUSE Enterprise Linux Server launched in 2000, followed by the free, community-oriented openSUSE project five years later.

OpenSUSE is currently the fourth most popular Linux distribution in terms of page hits on DistroWatch, and it offers a raft of compelling benefits, including stability and flexibility. For businesses, the commercial SUSE Enterprise Linux Server offers an interoperable platform that's supported on more hardware and software than any other enterprise Linux distribution.

The infographic below outlines some of the key milestones in SUSE's 20-year history.
