It doesn't give you the l33t street cred of installing Arch piece by piece but in the end you get a Arch machine with a couple of extras. There is a 'Welcome' app to do updates, rank repositories, and other stuff. 'yay' does the grunt work of installing AUR packages. It worked well until it didn't. I tried to salvage it with a live USB but I didn't have much data on it, none of it irretrievable so I used the iso I'd used for a VM on the Fedora box. > But OpenSUSE ... past glory, modern DISAPPOINTMENT. I switched to SuSE in 2002, using the shrink wrapped 8.1 Professional from BestBuy. I still have the box. https://www.suse.com/news/81_i386/ "SUSE Linux 8.1 Professional (7 CDs, 1 DVD, User Guide and Administration Guide, 90 days of installation support)" Red Hat Linux had pissed me off and SuSE offered KDE right out of the box. I really liked KMail, KNode, and Yast. I ran it at work and at home for years. Prior to the current Leap I ran 13.2 well past its EOL. It was openSUSE by then. I did not upgrade to Leap 42 since people were having problems with the in place upgrade. It works and I expect it will be stable since it's downstream of SLE. I also has a WSL openSUSE at work and was used to zypper. No interest in gnu-cobol so that wasn't a problem. BTW, thank you. The discussion of the lack of local TV stations led me to find that PBS now has a transmitter on TV Mountain which is LOS for me rather than Dean Stone, which isn't. And I mean LOS. If a laser designator had a 20 km range I could put a Hellfire on it. According to the website the translator service was restored 4/1. The schedule is slightly different with Austin City Limits on at midnight Sat/Sun. Mountains present challenges for communication but when you have a 7000' mountain you don't need no stinking tower. The Christian analog station was close to the ham repeater and I was surprised. It was a simple dipole. Of course when you're on top of a mountain you can really get out with a 2m handheld too.
