It is? I had tumbleweed installed and switched to fedora after only a few weeks because it kept freezing.
Weird. I promptly tried Fedora and switched to Tumbleweed after Fedora kept crashing soon after startup. Hardware configuration probably affects the outcome a lot.
The only fair comparison of Linux distros is always on devices of Linux vendors as they both pick the right hardware as well as merge Kernel patches if necessary.
I do however concur that OpenSuse offers basically everything. Except for intuitive system settings - but at least they're all there, you never really have to use the CLI. Other than with others who will eventually lack something. Also the bootable btrfs snapshots by default are a dream for common users.
oh my girlfriend's laptop also just keeps freezing with opensuse. do you have an nvidia card by any chance?
I think random freezing is one of the symptoms of installing it with Ventoy. Ventoy mucks up one of the installer flags or something like that, so even the wiki indicates it's not supported. (Neither is installing it from the Live tester, if I'm not mistaken.)
Correct! Ventoy adds boot parameters on its own, screwing up some fundamental settings (sth. that can happen on any distro that isn't making the user configure everything by hand). It's also a questionable piece of software on its own given the binary blob it adds to every stick… do not use it.
oh well, i guess it must be a different problem on my gf's laptop since we used dd to put the iso in a pen drive
