Happy 18th Birthday to openSUSE! It’s that time of the year once again where we will raise our virtual glasses and celebrate the remarkable journey of open-s...
The problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed I have is that so far I’ve never been able to install it. For all other Linux distros I can just get the ISO and use virt-manager to create a VM. But openSUSE never manages to boot. Any ideas why? I’d love to try it.
Edit: I’m trying it again now and i made it into the installer now
Edit2: installed it and am trying it out. Looks good on first glance but some packages that i’d really need to use it as a daily driver appear not to be present, like gnome-shell-extension-appindicator or gnome-shell-extension-caffeine
Both of those packages exist on OBS (here’s the second), but as another mentioned, you should be installing these through GNOME’s built-in extension manager (the web interface).
It’s just sorta strange to be because everything from fedora, ubuntu to arch and even windows just works in virt-manager without any special settings and openSUSE just doesn’t even get to the installer.

I thought you are supposed to install extensions through the web interface, not the command line
Well if they are in the repos i assume it be less likely to have incompatibilites when updates happen?
It failed to boot for me, too. Only worked when I stopped asking it to encrypt the hard drive.
To be honest, only laziness is stopping me from switching to another OS, though. Very poor experience so far.
