openSUSE 12.2 KDE: first impressions and comments
As you know, a few days ago he came openSUSE 12.2, and I could not resist to take a couple of hours this weekend to wear green again my main PC, which for months was blue Kubuntu – which is and remains my laptop. The truth is I have no complaints just Kubuntu 12.04, pearls goes. But has been reused Zypper and feel at home …
Installing openSUSE 12.2 I performed with the KDE Live CD via USB. As always, fast and easy. At the end, yes, I expect several hundred megs of updates, which among other things allowed my system in Spanish. just had an apparent problem : my team, rather quiet as a rule, hummed and warmed over the account.
I also went with Kubuntu, responsible for the fans of my machine would alter both the driver was free to ATI / AMD , and it is curious to openSUSE 12.1 because I always worked. But I do not care as much the reason for the failure, as quickly to finalize the installation was to culminate, install proprietary Fglrx (something I would do anyway).
I tell you, just as I complain about Ubuntu and the family that lost cutrez startup animation system to install proprietary drivers for the graphics card, talk about Plymouth in openSUSE 12.2 runs right otherwise : with the free system booted in black and once installed the proprietary, then it appeared the animation (the world upside down!), without being dazzling itself is far more decent than the “slip creative “committed in openSUSE 12.1 (indeed, has its charm).
Despite this, I can not complain about the absolutely horrible login screen (KDM). It will have been at ease, because go fabric (my opinion, of course).
Curiosity: In System Preferences> Workspace Appearance> Splash Screen can switch the display of animation that shows the desktop. By default it comes with the typical, but the settings I indicate there is an option called “ KSplash-qml-openSUSE ” much more curious.
Now, everything was fine. But such a thing does not remove the other, because I could not resist not to update the KDE 4.8.4 which has by default openSUSE 12.2 to KDE 4.9.1, fresh from the oven. Now everything goes better (note to new users, because you can arise some problems than another. KDE 4.8.4 also works really well).
Total
, I’m already installed on openSUSE 12.2 and KDE 4.9.1 … And what can I say you do not know already. Everything responds as expected, and although only took 24 hours for the years accumulated using openSUSE, I hope no unpleasant surprises, honestly. As I have no plans to change the main distros on my computers for a while. Hiberno on openSUSE 12.2 and Kubuntu 4.12 .
Speaking of Kubuntu and openSUSE, I will not leave you another fact to remember: it may seem at first that one of the advantages of the former over the latter is that of the giant have Ubuntu repositories for himself, but I do not the account would have too, except in very specific cases. I just I have to me as an example, but I not missed any application, and I found more than that I can not get Kubuntu (come on, that neither it going to have it all, but most).
As I write this at my desk and tuned, I have it running at Opera (this itself is another story …) with about 15 tabs open, Clementine, SpiderOak and Choqok and Kate, plus all the default system services, including KDE butt, effective, Akonadi and Nepomuk / Strigi. And the system monitor (KSysGuard), that tells me a average 16% CPU and RAM consumption of 1.5 GB of the 4 GB available (Opera swallows more than 800 MB) .
So, I think that openSUSE 12.2 is very well behaved. Because the most important thing is that everything responds fluid and stable . As it should be.
