That’s awesome! I wish more OS-es follow, especially Debian. Having support for an OS that can cover the whole perceived lifecycle of the hardware is something that was once (in the 2000s) the standard. This is something crucial for businesses, but it’s also great for home users.

Thank you very much for your reply ❤️

What I expect it to do is to run great out of the box and to be reliable enough. I don’t mind some post-install configuration, but for me “tweaking” usually ends on the day of the installation and down the road I simply want to do my daily tasks on the PC without even thinking about the system. What I need is Firefox, LibreOffice, Onlyoffice, Thunderbird, plus running a VirtualBox with Windows 10 there. Playing Steam games is also something I would like, but it’s not mandatory for me. When I have time, I usually play some classic titles, that probably don’t require latest versions of VGA drivers.

Basically I need something stable and predictable, with optimal font rendering since my work is tied to texts. I’m stressing on this, because back in 2018 when I first tried openSUSE Leap, it had the worst font rendering of Cyrillic fonts across different OS-es (both Linux ones and non-Linux ones) that I have seen in my entire life. Probably it’s already fixed, since five years have passed from then… but yeah, back then openSUSE was a real pain for the eyes. The OS I picked up was Linux Mint and I am still using it. For my next install though I want to try something new. I decided to try KDE… never used it before, but hearing a lot of good words about it. I decided to switch away from the Ubuntu base too, so that I add some learning curve to the whole experiment. And after some research, I figured out that I might probably make a choice between Debian and openSUSE.

BTW, if you have the time, can you please share your views on openSUSE (Leap) vs Debian? I’m divided between these two for my next Linux install.
